[Wsuug] Good news!

They will never get it right.  Not with windows, not with IE.

When someone asks my why I'm a linux guy (at home, win at work still), this
is why.  Mac is just as bad, just not on the web end...both companies love
their own proprietariness (I don't think that's a word, but I'm using it
anyways :) )

What needs to happen, is developers "join up" and stand up for our
standards.

Big sites (eBay, MySpace, FaceBook, and major retail sites....etc) should
team up and show a simple message.

"You are viewing this site in a non standards-compliant browser.  Please
install a standards compliant browser to continue" and link to FF, Safari,
Opera (ugh...), etc...

If just a handfull of the biggest sites do it, MS's hand will be
forced...and they might actually get it right.
