Mythbusting the mythspinner aka M$

Microsoft recently launched a campaign promoting its Internet Explorer 8 browser, making some bold claims about IE8’s capabilities.

The campaign, called “Windows Internet Explorer 8: Get the Facts,” trumpets IE’s speed, stability, ease of use, safety and customizability. It also provides a chart and several data points intended to show how IE8 surpasses other browsers in these areas.

While IE8, which was released earlier this year, is certainly the best version of Internet Explorer yet, several of Microsoft’s claims lead us to more questions, overlook some obviously plain facts or simply leave us scratching our heads.
On the campaign website, you’ll see Microsoft listing eight reasons to install Internet Explorer 8 — it’s “faster than ever,” it’s more customizable, it recovers from crashes — all of which point out the enhancements over previous versions of IE. No harm there.
But in the next section, titled “Browser comparison,” things gets dodgy.


Read the rest here.

People? Its easy you know? You don't need to compare "point to point" in order to convince the damn sheep that M$ is lying. They know that and thats why the love Micro$oft and will continue to do so. Otherwise good job ;)
