Why Microsoft does not provide developers a tool where we can test our web
projects into many different versions of Internet Explorer? It´s a huge pain
to assure that our websites will render correctly using non-official tools
for that.
The new IE8´s "compatibility view" is not enough for that.


And why Internet Explorer doesn´t automatically update itself like firefox
does? Why has it to be done under windows update? Normal people don´t like it
(and fear it). So most of people using windows XP still remains using
IE6!!!!! C´mon! An almost 10 years old browser!!!!

And finally, sorry about my english. I´ve tried it hard. :eek:)))

By the way: Windows 7 rocks! Congratulations!

Q1: Are you familiar with virtual machines?

Q2: I've been using Firefox since v1.15, so let me assure you: Firefox
does not update itself.

Um, Tools, Options, Advanced, Update tab. I can assure you, FF can
update itself, or check for updates and install with your approval.
