“Yes, I’ve come to a legitimate art museum to see a Photoshopped portrait of a television political satirist that’s hanging next to the restrooms. Not only that, but there’s a line of other people who are here for the same reason.”

comment #2 hits the nail precisely on the head. also, Shelley’s extensive quoting of WaSP (etc) from 2000 captures, I think, why this is such an emotional topic. (so emotional that I needed an hour of IM time to keep from FREAKING OUT, as in, way beyond w

“I’d hold a press conference and say that ONLY an atheist should be president, in the same way you want a eunuch to guard your harem.” – as usual, very very weird, and yet, quite funny, and also: shockingly true.

“There’s only one space left in the market where IE can still claim that bloated 95%+ market share: corporate intranets.” — Some excellent business analysis. (I’m reading the rest of my IE8 meta-switch backlog.)

Too many comments here to pick one, or to quote from any of JZ’s text. Frankly, I find the whole thing incredibly dispiriting; deeply disheartening. Like something’s gone horribly awry. Maybe Dylan’s civil war comment (twitter? can’t remember) is exactly

In the comments: “I have no doubt that later versions of ASP.Net will automagically include the necessary meta tag; this will make the perception that the MS platform works better than anything else.” THIS is the thing to fear.
