Comments on: The queue is growing, I know http://www.webdevout.net/tidings/2006/10/05/the-queue-is-growing-i-know/ Updates on the march of progress. A weblog about web design, standards, web browsers, and the overall health of the Web.

To claim that IE7 made even close to half of the progress needed to catch up to the other browsers would be to suggest that another year of development work will bring Internet Explorer up to Firefox's and Opera's level, which is clearly not so. IE7 still gets numerous things wrong at fundamental levels. I'm glad to see improvement, and those improvements are indeed measurable, but Firefox and Opera have been well ahead of the game for a long time now.

The detail in your site is excellent. I also like the calm, non-partisan tone that you take in your articles. There's no point relentlessly bagging Windows and IE (as many other authors do), when huge numbers of people use those products - and are often perfectly happy with them! I've read most of your articles & have bookmarked your site for future reference. Cheers, :-) You don’t seem to have many comments, so I just thought that I would add one!
