So I see that MicroSoft has updated their website. Is it really that hard to make the menu and banner pretty in Firefox too? The design is clearly a move towards the standards and it looks highly optimized. Why not take the tiny extra step to style it nicely for Firefox?
I understand legacy sites from a few years ago that saw the trend toward an IE-only web and so never considered making things work well in multiple browsers.
This is different. This is a company with infinite budget, talented developers, and an entire team who are specifically tasked with writing a Web browser, and apparently the desire to move towards the w3c standards. Is it really so difficult when you're redesigning a site from the ground up to make your primary (and fairly simple) navigation menu style and your site banner look roughly the same in more than one browser? No. It's not. It's certainly within their capabilities. Why then?
Maybe Scoble knows.
