Fine, Microsoft really didn't do that. But why does it have to be so unnecessary to have ActiveX? It is a pain for Ajax programmers when they use the XMLHttpRequest, and they have to accommodate the IE users (so many!) in IE5 and IE6 by using a "new ActiveXObject()".
Sorry if you were not geeky enough to understand that programming stuff, but do you think Internet Explorer is good? For me, it is the slowest browser. I even ran a test on it over Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, connected to the same network, and in the same environment. Internet Explorer pretty much lost.
And Apple was so generous to give Safari to Windows (5.1.7) and Windows is not giving Internet Explorer past version 5, the sucking version that seems to be so DISTRACTING!!!
THAT'S A NIGHTMARE UP THERE!
And even so, Microsoft kept making excuses on why they wouldn't pass the Acid3 test. Microsoft, you need to improve Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 9 is even worse than Safari 5.
Your tasks are:
If you are an IE hater, good job! Internet Explorer is the worst thing ever.
If you use IE or have used it before (I don't have to face the wrath of downloading another browser since I use a Mac! (singsongy voice)), describe your worst experience.
If you love IE, run away until the bells call you back to the blog. Just kidding, wait until the next post comes.
