Et la mort d’IE8, c’est pour quand ?

Parti pour flinguer IE6, ne serait-il pas judicieux de faire un tir groupé avec IE7 et IE8 ?

Parce que manifestement, ça ne va toujours pas dans le bon sens, comme souligné sur le blog de Nirvanahq:

Safari and Chrome are gems.  Opera too.  They do just about everything right and they don’t break a sweat doing it.  Firefox, while not the zippiest of browsers, at least does what you tell it.  Internet Explorer?  …endless code rewrites just to keep it from yacking up all over itself.  Recently, IE8 has started bitching about some Nirvana js code, saying “A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?”  Uh, no sir… I’d like you to run the script. That’s why we wrote it.  Dear Microsoft, how about fixing Internet Explorer rather than tossing a warning at the user?  It’s not like any other browser has a problem with doing what’s asked of it.
