Before you break out the champagne, note that IE9 isn’t expected to hit the Internet series of pipes until 2011, and it is anybody’s guess when it will gain a sufficient share of the IE space before we can claim to share our visual experience with all browser users!

Now, thanks to its other celebrated feature, to wit it’s generosity towards malware and viruses, some European governments might be helping out:

    France and Germany warned against using IE6, 7 and 8 France has echoed calls by the German government for web users to find an alternative to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) to protect security.

    The nature of the personal computer is simply not fully understood by companies like Apple (or anyone else for that matter). Apple makes the arrogant assumption of thinking that it knows what you want and need. It, unfortunately, leaves the “why” out of the equation — as in “why would I want this?” The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a ‘mouse’. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. I dont want one of these new fangled devices.
