Ultimatum

Well folks, it seems the WaSP is bit miffed by the Microsoft announcement not to release any more free browsers. A couple weeks back Microsoft announced that they would no longer distribute free, downloadable upgrades to Internet Explorer. From now on any new release will be integrated into each new version of Windows or MSN on the Mac.

This little article from the WaSP touches on some points of contention in the "standards" supporting IE.

End of Free IE Not the End of Web Standards

As stated in the article, there is still hope for web technology standardization. It just probably won't come from Microsoft (surprised?).
