You are completely missing the point or you simply don't
understand what I'm saying.

It's pretty obvious that Firefox is better to anyone that does any
kind of web development, all I'm saying is that MS need to get a
grip or they stand to loose a lot.

We need a standards compliant IE because it's on more than 90%
of peoples desktop systems, is not about what I personally use.

SP2 would have been a great opportunity to roll out an update
but they missed that opportunity.
