Thank You Microsoft

I found this on another Website but forgot the link:

“Officially support running multiple versions of IE. Web professionals need to spend way too much time to test their work in IE as it is. Ease our pain just a little by giving us an official way of running several versions of IE on the same copy of Windows. Not necessarily at the same time, but without having to reboot or reinstall. Please.”

I mean, Microsoft updates my computer whenever they want to. They even turn it off on the middle of a rendering to finalize their update yet, they don’t update everybody to IE7 but decide that no one should be allowed to run both browsers on the same computer. So here I am having to resort to two different computers, one with IE6 an one with IE7 so that I can fully test my websites on both browsers.

Thanks again Microsoft, for making my developer life yet a little easier by having to work on multiple computers

  IEVIII - I Evil? | A Blog by Web Developers wrote @ February 12th, 2008 at 4:15 pm

[…] Actually it is IE7, IEVII the one that most closley resembles the phrase I Evil. Could it be that 8 is just going to be more of a problem than a solution? this blog even talks about a new META tag that we now have to include to take advantage of IE8 full support? Just imagine having to develop not to one, or two but three versions of IE. Do we get to keep our copy of IE7 this time? […]
