Microsoft is Annoying.

April 22, 2002

As I'm trying to finish up the new design I noticed that I really need to download a few old browsers for testing as I make the move to CSS layout. IE 5, 5.5 and 6 all render CSS differently. I just went to Microsunk's website and found that I couldn't install any old broswers. It may be b/c I have Windows 2000, but I don't care. I attempt to design websites and I like to make sure they work in as many different scenarios as possible and they aren't making this easy.

This is exactly why Zeldman and his throngs of followers code for web standards. At a certain point it just becomes too difficult to try and program for 10+ environments. To hell with bad browsers.
