I agree, I find Microsoft to definitely being going downhill in their applications lately.

I have so many aps of my phone I think its time to upgrade to a bigger one. I think that was their marketing plan all along. Give us small iPhones so we can fill it with aps then come out with bigger memory ones. Oh well its working =]

Simon, you hit the nail on the head. Whatever they can do to make more money is ultimately what will win out. They know they stole a lot of business from their competitors by rewarding www.chase.com quality. You better believe they are measuring this change to see if it brings more revenue. If it does they will continue. If not they will change their strategy in favor of what brings them a better ROI. I appreciate you article and look forward to more of the same.

I just loaded Chrome for Mac. While only a dev version, it all seems to be there. The speed is really good on heavy javascript pages.

My standby is still FF, although I keep Safari up to date now on the Mac for when I'm debugging some code or the rare cookie conflict.

As for IE being forced, in Windows dominated entreprises, where Group Policies are often set, requiring a uniform version across the company is not a hard thing. If IE8 deserves mainstream use, then it will propagate appropriately. The enterprise is always last to join this trend since they need to be careful that whatever theyre installing doesn't "Vista" their business.

I don't feel right using IE anymore, FF (default), Opera, Safari, & Chrome are my favs. Having said that I do wish the IE8 could be forced on IE6 users (never happen of course) if only for it's improved support of web standards etc.

We encorage all of our clients to use firefox. It has cut down a great deal on spyware, malware, and popups our users have recieved. The hundreds of plugins for Firefox really makes it one of the best browsers out there... windows just doesnt cut it sometimes :(

Default browser is Chrome for speed. Firefox next for Chrome challenged sites and for feedly - my new favorite add-on. IE anything is last, and has been since the day I learned of alternatives 7+ years ago

I use Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Mac on a daily basis. The key is keeping the number of add-ons light.

As much as I abhor Internet Explorer, the javascript debugging capabilities built into IE8 are pretty awesome - enough that I reach for IE8 before I go for Firebug, when it comes to working with Javascript.

For day to day browsing, though, I'm still all about Firefox & a small variety of add-ons.

I heard it somewhere on the net. It really did sound much better.
That Dublin tour date really sounds hot - wish I could fly over for it.
