Sigh… I really had hoped we were past this era of “pay the OEM to pimp your wares”, at least with web browsers.
I don’t know where I would be without Google. It’s an invaluable tool for search. But their browser? Snooze… Like too many tools from Google, it’s a developer toy designed by developers for developers. Even if you foist it onto consumer-grade systems, most users won’t select it unless OEM’s make it the default browser (yech).
Frankly, I’m not elated with IE8 just yet either, though I like it better than I liked IE7 during it’s beta phase (taking the menu away… BAD idea!). But at their heart, I still believe that the IE team has the diverse scenarios much more understood to deliver a web browser that is suitable for consumers, enterprises, and provides some new dev-candy – without being all out nerd porn as Chrome currently is.
