I'm not one to continue off topic discussions.... ok, stop the cat calls.

I just went to the main page for Internet explorer to look for some information 
and while the images were loading, I noticed the alt attribute of one image was 
"Need alt text" Look a the image that represents the guy's lower torso and its 
alt text

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Does Microsoft feel resposibility for the web?

Do they realize how much web traffic is wasted, because IE holds back web  
standards?
(according to stopdesign.net it's 950gb of junk markup *per day*, on  
microsoft.com alone)


What about fixing long-standing rendering bugs?

On http://positioniseverything.net/explorer.html you can find some nasty  
ones
(severly broken float model is my 'favorite')

On IE blog I've read excuses that such things need to stay for sake of  
compatibility.

Indeed funny it'd be when fixed IE would cease to be "IE-compatible",
but how long Microsoft can keep it's pet bugs?


Why 8 years is not enough to implement PNG transparency? (that's a popular  
question :)
