No spork, I'm refering to the people who look for ways to use an application that would only be done in a situation where someone is trying to break the application.

I know, I know. I was attempting to make a funny. :|

At the moment, I'm watching my roommate as he tries to get Vista to stop bluescreening on reboot and cussing Microsoft to all hell, while I sit here and revel in the fact that I haven't had a single OS-related issue since I installed XP this past summer.

Not all Microsoft products are complete piles of trash, but like you said, people do go out of their way to try and prove otherwise.

P.S.: He tried the "you can't use DX10" argument. I responded with the "I can use my OS" retort.
The Beer Monocle. Classy.

Well it looks like this is going to be a wash.

Quote:
In March, Microsoft announced that their upcoming Internet Explorer 8 would: "use its most standards compliant mode, IE8 Standards, as the default."

...

This week, the promise was broken. It lasted less than six months. Now that Internet Explorer IE8 beta 2 is released, we know that many, if not most, pages viewed in IE8 will not be shown in standards mode by default. The dirty secret is buried deep down in the «Compatibility view» configuration panel, where the «Display intranet sites in Compatibility View» box is checked by default. Thus, by default, intranet pages are not viewed in standards mode.

Hopefully it's a bug.
