Can Internet Explorer 8 Keep Its Promise?

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Frankly, I won't be holding my breath because, as Mr Roposa points out "when it comes to Microsoft...skepticism isn't a bad thing," "promise after promise" falls "by the wayside" or results in "a hollow shell of the initial promise." But for what it's worth, check out: Can Internet Explorer 8 Keep Its Promise?

MB, you need to stop being so paranoid!  If there are any problems with using Microsoft's new IE, all you have to do is call them up or e-mail them and ask them to help you!  It's so easy - before they answer your questions, you have to pull out your credit card and give them a minimum of $49 to tell you how to fix it!  Now what's so wrong with that?  After all, Bill Gates is only being fair; don't forget, it has only cost him $12 billion dollars to complete his private plantation, er, I mean estate, so he can live in a tad of comfort.  Now, doesn't he deserve that?  I mean, he has given $1 billion dollars to his foundation, the generous man he is, after pulling all that change out from underneath the cushions in his sofas in his plantation, er, I mean estate home.
