In between? Radio Silence... I hope there will be more feedback taken into account for version 8 than for version 7. And if it's only the missing pressure of an OS release and the small bit the <a href="http://www.webstandards.org/2007/02/04/talking-with-microsoft-about-ienext/" title="Talking with Microsoft about IE.next - Article by the Web Standards Project">WaSP</a> fought for. Then again, there are so many bugs around <abbr title="Internet Explorer">IE</abbr>. From User Interface down to the rendering engine. Trivial things they almost already declare WON'T FIX... Hopeless, isn't it? Almost a year since Internet Explorer 7 was released. In between? Radio Silence…

I hope there will be more feedback taken into account for version 8 than for version 7. And if it’s only the missing pressure of an OS release and the small bit the WaSP fought for.

Then again, there are so many bugs around IE. From User Interface down to the rendering engine. Trivial things they almost already declare WON’T FIX…

Hopeless, isn’t it?

I like the freedom I have right now to engage in a lot of different and interesting projects, and working at Microsoft would definitely involve me making a lot of sacrifices -- personal and otherwise -- in hope that it would amount to a "greater good". And I'm not convinced it would. I can’t say I regret not going after that job.
