Ask HN: Could we sue Microsoft for IE and wasting our time?
Could we put together a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft for their line of browsers? Lets face it, anyone to ever develop or design something for a browser has had to deal with IE. And if you've had to deal with IE, then you've had some pretty bad experiences.
How much time do IE-only fallbacks take?
How much time do IE-related style adjustments take?
What about the time lost because IE doesn't fully support standards, even in an experimental way?
What about not retiring the old versions of it properly?
I don't care about money... I want compliance and a lack of hassle! Even IE9 is a big hassle. Why, today alone is ticking into the second hour of trying to "make IE work".
