The IE Factor in 2008

Feb 2, 2008 by Rose

While searching for a fix on Google for a problem where IE had decided it didn’t want to display the numbers for my ordered list… (now there’s a suprise)… I came across this well written blog entry on the IE Factor by StopDesign.

As I read aloud to my partner who is a programmer, I was nodding my head in agreement, this guy was putting into words all my frustrations about IE and Microsoft in general.

Then… I got to bottom of the page and discovered the post had been written in……. 2004!!!

4 years later and Microsoft are STILL just as terrible to program html & css for…

StopDesign were not wrong when they said that IE bugs were responsible for a 10% increase on quotes for online projects!

Maybe I should start displaying that surcharge on my clients invoices, too many of those being pointed out in dollar signs might just be enough to give Microsoft the kick up the bum it deserves… do I believe that? No.
