Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 chasing Apple's Safari

March 5, 2008, 18:21(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I just couldn’t resist this one:
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 chasing Apple’s Safari
You Apple fanboys need to get a grip on reality. They never miss a chance to try and trumpet their supposed superiority. If you look here you’ll see that Safari has a 1.9% share of the browser market and 4.4% of the OS market. That means that even Mac users prefer using Firefox over Safari. It’s just a freakin’ browser guys.
Anyway, if you want to check out MS’s new IE 8 Beta hop on over P.T.’s site for screenshots and here for download links.
I’m gonna pass on this one as I’m already doing Beta testing for MS, I’m using Windows Vista. 😉
