IE Nearly a 10

Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live divisions at Microsoft, previewed IE9 at PDC this week in Los Angeles. I'm probably like most of you out there, stuck on version 7 for no good reason other than because upgrades are a PITA. No worries, as Sinofsky said they're just about three weeks into development on the new version, having just released Windows 7 and concentrating their efforts on the cash-generating suites, like Office and SharePoint for the upcoming decade.

Makes me wonder, then, what version readers of MCPmag.com are using right now. I'm just wondering aloud on IE right now, not any of the other browsers (I'll ask about that some other time).

IE6 at work (have business-critical applications that only work on IE6). IE8 at home, but only when I hit a site where FF doesn't work.

IE8 before it came out, although I use a combination of FF, Safari, Opera and Chrome depending on what I'm doing. Interesting, Google seems to be taking cues from MS in that Wave only works with non-IE browsers by default.

I only use IE8 occassionally. The perf of JavaScript on IE8 is horrible so I use FireFox most of the time.

msft active x based sites mandate ie... firefox or chrome don't work on all sites. Let's get people developing web sites on sw that adhere's to industry standards, not built to only work with msft sloppy code.imho
