Not so good news for anybody who is in the business of web design, either.
Not if they use Publisher for their web designs (you think I'm being sarcastic? You're wrong). As long as it doesn't score worse than IE6 on the ACID 3 test, I'm happy.Of course if you manage to write a browser that is worse than IE6 at doing what it was designed to do, then maybe writing Internet browsers isn't your thing.
Sounds to me like they are starting to do a 'microsoft' with the marketplace(s). :/
Except for a few things, namely that Google products are relatively inexpensive, unobtrusive, well written, high performance applications. I mean Windows Live Search is so remarkably poor compared to Google Desktop it's laughably tragic. Since it seems obvious people are only going to accept monopolistic software giants as market leaders, of the two evils the software monopolist who writes software competently, is the better choice. I noticed something similar to D4NM4N when I made a couple of websites with CSS.
Yeah. Get the undohtml.css stylesheet and cascade from there. The downside is you will need to specify all your styles explicitly, the trade off is your site will look awesome in any browser.
