Thoughts on web development and technologies by Peter Gasston

Chris Wilson talks Internet Explorer

An interesting chat with IE veteran Chris Wilson (downloadable MP3 or WMA).

IE should serve as an object lesson in monopolies; when it was competing with Netscape it was innovative and forward-thinking. When Netscape threw in the towel, Microsoft stopped development and the browser stagnated and caused many of the problems we have today. Since the rise of Firefox (and, to a lesser extent, Safari), IE have realised they have to start getting the community back onside by becoming innovative again - although, not with IE7, obviously; that was just a catch-up release.
