How many people have tried to use internet explorer 7? I have, and it makes me want to die.
One morning some random middle management asshole, probably after losing a bet and having to go to work after eating a sack of oranges and 2 ounces of LSD, went into balmers office and said to him "Why don't we find a way to combine the autrocious image compatibility, outdated connection support, and security that barely exists with extreme slowness and a clumsy interface that is the bastard child of WindowsME and Vista, all the whille ripping off features from Firefox and Opera, and then making them fucking blow?"
This employee was dubbed head of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 team. And I have some questions for him...
1. How do you make a web browser that is slow on ANY COMPUTER YOU PUT IT ON!?!?! I have run this on a quad-core AMD with dual 700+meg video cards, a seagate cheetah and 4 gigs of 6400+ ram, along with an 80$ giganic and comcast cable, and it still couldn't load google on firefox as fast as my pentium3 loaded one of Larz's "lets post screenshots of every configuration page on my server's web-interface because I can" threads...
2. What is wrong with the interface, is it supposed to be stripped down so much that it is useless?
3. Why are all of the configuration options still geared towards Dial-up?
4. Why is every notable feature dwarfed by IE6+a google toolbar?
5. why don't you just give up and put firfox in Windows Ultimate packages...?
