Microsoft comes clean

This quote from Microsoft sums up their philosophy pretty well:
Quote:
<i>Greg Sullivan, product manager, Windows client group</i>:
<b>While it is true that our implementation is not fully, 100 percent W3C-compliant, our development investments are driven by our customer requirements and not necessarily by standards</b>
This article is about the total lack of development in IE since they pretty much sealed up the marketplace, most notably in the area of CSS and their failure to implement it correctly.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no frothing-at-the-mouth Microsoft hater, and while I have had no delusions that their primary interest is to make money, <i>I don't think that's a bad thing</i>.

However, I hope and pray that their stranglehold on web development will come to an end through all this.
