Outside of the fact that this is Microsoft speaking... Visse sez that they didn't want to support browsers "that we know don't support (W3C) standards or that we can't insure will get a great experience for the customer."
My impression was that Mozilla is the litmus test for W3C compliance. Am I incorrect in this? For instance, does IE, have more compliance with W3C (I mean does it have what the most of what W3C asks for, not counting additional things that W3C never asked for)? If Mozilla is the most W3C compliant browser out there, why doesn't AOL/Netscape or Mozilla issue a press release saying so and blasting Microsoft for its tactics? A casual reader would conclude that Mozilla is not a W3C compliant browser based on this News.com article. Presumably Microsoft is banning because of the "can't insure will get a great experience for the customer" component which is the "can't insure that it's a Microsoft product connecting" route. The article has been updated BTW that Microsoft is going to "support" (i.e., let in) the other browsers. Steve
