Testing with IE6 and IE7 on a Single PC
Posted on Friday, December 1st, 2006
Great news from the people who brought us Internet Explorer. They’ve released a Virtual PC image containing a time-limited WinXP SP2 with IE 6 for all our testing pleasure. No licensing required! And if you don’t have a copy of Virtual PC yet, they’ll give you Virtual PC 2004 for free to run it all.

Which Browsers matter in 2006?
Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2006
If you are planning to build or rebuild a site this year you may wonder at some point which browsers you should support. If not, you should! Just looking at your new design in IE 6 is no guarantee it works and behaves the same in any other browser.
Not that long ago the browser shortlist [...]

The Orange Icon, part 2
Posted on Thursday, December 15th, 2005
Microsoft has decided. The feed indicator in IE 7 is still orange!
Most surprisingly it’s the same one that Firefox has. Well, not so much of a surprise, because it was the Mozilla foundation who kindly ‘donated’ it:
Thanks again to the Mozilla team for making the icon available and helping us do the right thing [...]

Happy Birthday Firefox
Posted on Wednesday, November 9th, 2005
A year ago, to the day, Firefox 1.0 was launched. So I guess a ‘happy birthday’ is in order.
In the past year this little app shook up the browser world. Among some of the things accomplished are, in no particular order:
Grab a larger than 10% marketshare. Exceeding the ‘promise’ made at launch.

IE Developer Toolbar update
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
The Developer Toolbar for IE has been updated. It’s been dubbed Beta 1 Refresh and does not seem to have more features. Bug-fixes only.
Last time I was a bit critical/cynical. But this is one of the few toolbars, in IE, that still is holding on. Just for the ‘Resize’ function.

Windows Live Beta. Don’t bother…
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
As the rest of the world is doing right now, I was going to drop my two cents on the new Windows Live Beta. But in this context Beta means Broken. Severely! It doesn’t work in Firefox, but worse, it also borks in IE.
If you ask me, it’s a rush job. Because the hotshots already [...]
