That is the beauty about not doing client work anymore. We can dictate what the people have to use, we don't worry about the fringe, we have support for specific platforms, and that is the way it works.
As for the w3c, it isn't hard to follow the w3c standards and still have it work. When the focus is on application development and design is centered around clean functional design creating extensive sites are easy. Safari isn't a major player in the browser market. IE has been a major player for 10 years now. Some Mozilla based system (Netscape, Firefox, Mozilla) has been a major player for even longer. Safari is new to the world. Other browsers have tried to make gains, but have all failed. I would prefer to see Apple adopt firefox as the standard browser and put money and support behind it and not have to deal with another platform that people will expect support for when we don't have the time or the energy to care. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave l [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 7:59 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Safari on Windows XP and Vista - Never though I'd see the > day. > > I remember why ff came out and people said the same thing.. about how it > wasnt going to matter... > > Aplle doesnt "need" to get into the business world for it to matter.
