In one of my previous blog post here I wrote about how Google sniped at Internet Explorer users on their Gmail account by saying that Gmail runs faster in Google Chrome. Well I realised Google snipes at IE users on the main Google search page too. There are constant calls for IE users to switch to Chrome.
I’m no big fan of IE. I hate IE in fact. I find it amusing Google is using so many means to hit back at Microsoft. And now news are out that Google is launching a new Operating System also called Chrome that is based on the open source Linux for netbooks. Well if this operating system becomes mainstream, we will just see cheaper laptops in the future. Which brings me to the next question, should I get a Macbook, a laptop with Vista, wait for Windows 7 launch on laptop or a netbook for portability?

We webdesigner should not spent one single second to build a extra solution for IE! No matter which version it is! I want to goo swimming, surfing, dancing instead of loosing my whole sparetime in building extra solutions for IE bugs.
I thougt IE8 will be better. It is, but it is still ful of bugs.
So I o swimming dear lasy Microsoft people !
And I will inform on all websites build by me to switch to browsers that are conform to the web standards. No matter if html or JavaScript.
Hopefully you stop to produce any browsers within 3 years since no one needs your browser anymore.
