I HATE MICROSOFT

I hate Microsoft. They are in a class all by themselves, and it is not a distinguished class - the class of those incapable, truly incapable, of writing a decent web browser. In developing a recent module for HouseFront's system, I discovered the "joy" of working with complex JavaScript in a web browser written for < expletive removed before posting, read: poopoo-heads >. Firefox, even without the developer's extensions, runs spheres, not just circles, but 4-d *super-SPHERES around Internet Explorer. Opera's not that great, but at least it ran my code, and Safari seems fine at first glance. But IE *sucks*. Sucks sharp rocks. With mossy outcroppings. Hallucinogenic moss. 'Cause that's what they were smelling when they wrote IE's code. (Except that they really didn't, they 'used' the code from Mosaic and hacked it up in a furball containing cancer-causing substances outlawed in California. Good thing they're based in Washington state.) So, to sum up: Microsoft sucks. They suck because they can't seem to truly innovate, and instead they take things others make, and make them worse. (Kinda reminds me of that commercial about the company that doesn't make things, they make things better. Only the reverse.) IE, as a browser, sucks. Everytime someone asks, and even sometimes when they don't, I'll let people know what I think of IE and FF. This userpic really sums up my feelings vis-a-vis IE. It should die a quick death, followed by a Windows Update for Firefox with a critical tag.
