Titolo: Microsoft/IE: conspiracy theory

questo e' per quanti credono che le regole vadano scritte
da una persona sola, meglio se si chiama bill. su con  le
antenne.
''Dave Winer puts the death of IE5/Mac into context, concluding "It took 
[Bill Gates] ten years to erase the web as a threat. It's done now. He 
owns it, it's in the trunk (I know you don't like to hear this), it's 
locked, and they're driving it off a cliff into the ocean."''
''The timing of recent events bears out Dave's thesis, at least as far 
as Microsoft's intentions are concerned. The U.S. government found 
Microsoft guilty of having criminally abused its monopoly power to crush 
competing Internet-based businesses. Yet the government did nothing 
about it. The AOL lawsuit posed a problem for Microsoft; so Microsoft 
bought off AOL. Only after AOL took the money did Microsoft quietly let 
slip the news that it intends to kill its Mac and Windows browsers. (And 
in fact, we now learn, some eighteen months ago a few Microsoft 
marketers told a designer friend that the company intended to kill its 
own browsers once all the legal hubbub died down.)''
''By its recent actions, Microsoft seems to believe that if consumers 
want the Internet, they will use the next version of Widows to access 
Microsoft-based web services and MSN content, and to download XBox 
patches. And some consumers will do just that. But consumers have a 
choice.''
''By its recent actions, Microsoft has also made dupes of its employees 
who contributed to web standards. In light of recent news, it appears 
the company tolerated these employees' activities because they pacified 
the developer community.''
''Yet regardless of Microsoft's intentions, those standards did make it 
into all recent browsers and the availability of browsers that commonly 
support CSS1, XHTML, some of CSS2, and the DOM is changing the way 
designers and developers create websites. And that will not stop. So 
long as we design with standards, we and the end-users on whose behalf 
we toil will continue to have a choice.''

grazie dei link, il primo lo consocevo, il secondo no.
carino il tuo commento:
''I'm in Italy and here in Italy there are tons of web developer who 
don't care about standards... I know that Mozilla (and Firebird) rocks 
but with some web sites or with some features of this web sites there 
are nothing to do. Add to it the need to use the IE XML parser by a 
developer view... and... you get the right equation. I love Mozilla but 
I still use IE for the most of the time (SharpReader uses it... and I 
surf with my aggregator for the most of the time :)''
quel "don't care" riguardo agli sviluppatori web italiani
suona quasi come un complimento, nel senso che a *molti*  di quegli 
sviluppatori non e' che non interessano i web std., non sanno nemmeno
che esistono (io mi sto allontanando da 
ASP.NET
 alla svelta,
ma ne abbiamo gia' parlato).
sharpreader, bello, ma il fatto che usi IE e che spesso non riesco
ad aprire i link in Moz (default browser) mi fa girare le palline.
temo pero' che non sia una colpa di sharpreader, ma di win.
ciao.

Nota a margine: l'XML parser (ti rifericsci a XSLT?) ce l'ha anche Moz, 
dalla versione 1.4 ha anche il supporto ai web service SOAP/WSDL:

Ah grazie. Quello di Firebird non mi piace :( magari Moz 1.4 č meglio
ma ammetto di non averci sbattuto la testa dato che devo lavorare su
IE
