Microsoft to abandon standalone IE

I just wish they would release a new version that:

1) works with PNG images properly.
2) renders CSS properly.

Yeh, I know they claim CSS compliance, but if you have access to IE and another browser such as Moz, check out my homepage to see what I'm talking about.

You forgot #3!!!!

3) Generate propper colors for their respective HTML codes.

#4 - No more security exploits.
#5 - The ability to delete the hidden .dat files in the Cookies, History, and Temporary Internet Files folders. Somewhat trivial since I have a batch file that does that in MS-DOS mode.

#4 is beyond the skills Microsoft has to fix things with and without #5 Microsoft just would not be Microsoft.

Could you publish your batch file (and add deleting all files in temp dir)?

Those glitches I was talking about? Well, I'm not sure whether they're interface or rendering engine glitches, but some of them are as follows


- stuff in textareas tends to mess up mysteriously. Scroll up, then scroll down and you get garbled text. Observable only on Mozilla..

- dragging a line control in bookmarks causes dead clients... but I believe this is fixed in the latest nightlies.


What was I was trying to say in my original post was that by and by Mozilla is the better browser, but its still got these minor minor glitches in places... An experienced user might be able to live with them, but a newer user might find them more irritating ( which is why most of my friends, despite my best intentions, still mainly use IE ) ....
