"A collaboration with Internet Explorer" and everything's jaggy on a big screen — can't deny the irony. When will Microsoft finally learn how to properly use web technology?

Regarding the link copy issue: They could've just added an automatic redirect/URI change on page load. Too bad they didn't think of that.

    When will Microsoft finally learn how to properly use web technology?

When they invent some good web technology. Oh, wait, they totally did... You heard of AJAX?

They certainly contributed to the web, even if part of their contribution was rather counter-productive (IE, we're looking at you!). But you have to admit that it's quite embarrassing for a company as well-known and large as Microsoft to finally use HTML5/Canvas on a website and still not being able to draw smooth curves.

Well, I say AJAX feels like a better feature than Canvas. Where would we be without AJAX?

Presumably your first sentence is incorrect, then, yes?
