Microsoft's Chris Wilson would seem to disagree: "One of the things that we've been doing for some time now has been approaching a lot of the web development community and in particular site authors directly even, and saying: we found that there's a problem with your web site when you use IE7, and it's because of a standards improvement that we've done - here are the details of it. Also here's a set of tools that you can go and analyze your site with and figure out what sort of CSS hacks, and that sort of thing, you're using to work around IE6 problems from before. And then you'll know how to fix them to work with IE7 and its better standards compliance." http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/?p=260 In other words, IE7 is going to be in trouble if websites don't take out all the hacks that cause Opera and Firefox so many problems. As IE7 is due any time now, Andrew K's statement is nonsense: IE based browsers are going to start having problems soon. “The fact still remains IE based browsers are completely compatible with the most websites and that is not going to change any time soon.”

The fact still remains IE based browsers are completely compatible with the most websites and that is not going to change any time soon. And yes I also use IE 24/7 and I do not have ANY problems. I also support thousands of clients from home users to businesses.

The speculation of hidden APIs are irrelevant, if the minimum requirements are lower they are lower. 2. IE doesn't communicate in any non standard way and that doesn't really make sense. Because if you were putting more load on a server, the browser would then be slower. I have yet to see any documented evidence of a tweaked version of Firefox being faster and I am not talking about using Adblock and Fasterfox. 3. Firefox still has lots of vulnerabilities, see number 4. 4. Those two are proof Firefox Vulnerabilities clearly are not fixed within hours. How many IE vulnerabilities exist or their time to be patched is irrelevant to this fact. 1. The speculation of hidden APIs are irrelevant, if the minimum requirements are lower they are lower.
