I don't know about you guys, but I am kinda bored by all these news and tweets against Microsoft ... don't get me wrong please, you may have realized over these years I have rarely been that nice with M$ products, but there is time to complain, and time time to move forward and appreciate, at least, what we have now compared with what it was 10 years ago. IE6 is Death, Long Life to IE6 Back in time, IE6 was the kick ass browser every web developer was dreaming about: tons of security issues to hack in order to have access to any sort of private data (btw ... it's still like that ...) hybrid JScript/VBScript engines with different privileges for each language and none of them based concretely over a standard the predecessor of what we call today Ajax hybrid box model able to understand the worst markup we can possibly imagine so ... wannabe developer friendly (I'll be back to this point later) ... and so on ... with all its glory ... Why NO future IE will be the next ...

Unfortunately, we all know that many users are still trapped behind really outdated browsers and their relative JS engines.

My uncle Paolo opened an Italian Restaurant in London, New Barnet, and I have been there few weeks ago to visit him and bring him my congratulations.

Microsoft promoted his latest IE9 (and please use it if you like IE) behind the sentence Beauty Of The Web ... well, accordingly with Microsoft the web has always been beauty since Chrome, WebKit, Opera, and Firefox became real competitors ... but this is another story.
