internet explorer team celebrates

*When we were working on early versions of Internet Explorer we had no idea where the Internet would take the world, or how we would fit in.
**PSD needs to get serious about cloning Netscape. We must have a plan to clone all the features they have today, plus new ones they will add between now and our next release. We have to make this our only priority and put our top people on the job. In addition to our planned Win32/OLE work, we have to get serious about extending and owning HTML as a format, and in the process leverage our existing assets to get ahead.


*Christopher Vaughan, lead project manager for the Internet Explorer team, (in the IE blog today) reminiscing on the good old days.

**United States v. Microsoft Trial - Government Exhibit 684 PDF Format (605KB) which seems to cover "how [Microsoft] would fit in" pretty damn well.
