Dear IE, I'm leaving you for good
Feeling abused or neglected by your browser?
Is the story of your relationship one hidden flaw after the other, with nothing but broken promises to mend the problems?
Do you find yourself patching your browsers inadequacies, or find yourself limited by who your browser lets you talk to?
If so, you may be living with an abusive browser, and you don't have to take it anymore. Robert Vamosi of ZDnet writes a letter to Internet Explorer explaining why this relationship cannot continue with its current pattern.
It's hillarious and it sums up the many frustrations that IE has caused the community of users. My question is this: why stop with IE? I could write a point by point letter describing why three years ago, I called it quits after a relationship with Microsoft that dated back to MS-DOS 6 and a brief encounter with Xenix (if anyone remembers that *cough* jewel.) I realize this dates me a bit, I'm about as old as the GNU project itself.
Maybe I'll write Windows a letter after all these years explaining why I left when I did.
