I kinda like the idea of broken HTML support in Outlook, maybe soon no one will use HTML in emails anymore.

That would be a big step forward!

…and furthermore, why the heck do they make you set the view characteristics of every stinkin’ folder individually insteada allowing settings to cover all folders as an option …irks me blind these kinds of stupidities that restrict the user to the m$ mold (as in moldy)…

My favorite thing was to embed ani gifs in mail to the delight of many of my recipients …well, no more!! …to do it now, I open m$ie and open the gmail portal and send it there …google had the good sense to add that feature back a while ago …bought office 2007 premiere (happily for only $59, not $600) and did so in hopes, especially for outlook, of benefiting from the expanded limit in size of the .pst folder …well, I miss my old outlook 2002 and shudda gotten a ratty old copy of outlook 2003 offa ebay and left the rest alone …interface stinks and is bothersome and wastes real estate to boot …it’s a resource hog too …billgates is itchin’ for a lynchin’ imho!!

“This should be a rebuttal to all those who say Microsoft is open standards supportive”

What deluded maniac would ever even try to claim that?

For example, IE’s abysmal failure here:

http://acid3.acidtests.org/

is well known.

And did people miss this?

http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/05/follow-up-on-excel-2007-sp2s-odf.html

Never has been “open standards supportive”, never will be.

There’s been a drive to add *some* more standards support into IE — mainly, one feels, so as not to annoy the web development community, which resents the extra work getting around its quirks causes, and which has been saying so vocally. That’s bad publicity.

But don’t expect to see serious HMTL5 and SVG support any time soon. That would conflict with MS’s desire to take over ownership of the web with Silverlight.

Never has been “open standards supportive”, never will be.

This should be a rebuttal to all those who say Microsoft is open standards supportive, more so than Apple.
