Seen (and read) the buzz about IE7? Holzschlag,, … and well, everybody who has a blog nowadays. Some of them are in anticipation. Some of them are waiting for something spectacular from Microsoft’s hands. And some of them, well, if you get paid by the company itself, wouldn’t you be writing positive news, just to keep the buzz going?
There’s a couple of questions I’d like to ask the IE7 team:
To support future CSS extensions and to remain true to standards: have you rewritten the IE7 engine? Has this ever been under consideration? Is the main codebase still based on code from Mosaic (Self link to a 2003 posting)?
If so (Still Mosaic based), don’t bother going along with the buzz: I think it’s impossible to build better CSS support on technologies from an Older Age. Also: If you run IE7, do me a favour and grab a snapshot from the About Explorer box.
