Dear Microsoft,<\/p>\n
I’ll keep this simple: your browser sucks. Why is it that every other major browser can follow the standards that allow webwrights like me to create lovely, fluid and advanced sites? Meanwhile, you with your automatic updates and security changes weekly cannot even support some of the most basic aspects of CSS functionality (min-width springs to mind like a piece of wheat bread from a dangerously overtightened toaster slot.) Mind you, I’m not one for conformity. But, when your Luddite-like stubborn clinging to outdated technology forces me to constantly modify my code and use countless hacks on my aesthetically enchanting creations, when that happens…well, I just feel like killing you. Every day. And by that I mean not only that every day I feel like killing you, but also that I will breach that alchemical Holy Grail of immortality in order to have the pleasure of killing you every day.<\/p>\n
Coridally yours,
