Is this actually a critical issue for most people? Is it an issue that cannot be solved by either forking IE into two versions - IE and IE Classic? Or perhaps having a compatibility layer, like what already exists in IE, so that some things can use Trident if needed, while the main engine remains WebKit? - Hans On 2013-02-14, at 12:18 AM, Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> wrote: > <<< > As I have expressed previously here, I have my fingers crossed that Microsoft will follow suit. >>>> > I'd not mind :) ... but I doubt it will happen (real soon if ever): > > - first of all because as we all know "Microsoft is not following standards but they create them" :) and > - because of the fact that IE and its rendering and Javascript interpretation engine(s) should be tightly coupled with Web Browser Automation and so it could be very hard to "cut/refactor that Automation ties" without breaking a lot of custom software using Web Browser Automation features. > > -- Shamil > > Среда, 13 февраля 2013, 23:56 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: >> Yep, the big news of today.
