Yeah, I know of Acid2. But like I've also read, that test is not the ultimate thing. Even if a browser fully supports it doesn't mean it supports everything. The test has intentional errors to test how browsers cope with them, but there are no absolute rules on how to deal with errors, so each browser may react differently.

I know IE7 also will have tabs, but the only reason it will have tabs is because Microsoft finally realized that people want it. Thank goodness somebody else thought of it before Microsoft, or else the idea would probably be patented, and you would have to use IE for it.

I also know IE is available on Mac, and yes, the last version is version 5, but that browser is so out of date, that nearly no sites made today works properly in it. I just chose to ignore it, because generally, Microsoft makes products for Windows only. Not surprising, its being their flagship.

I've read that article. It assumes you haven't tweaked your browser. You can really mess around with settings in Fx, and many pages on the internet will show you how to really boost your Fx. Mine is rather fast, cause I've changed many defaults.

I also would like to make it a point that if it weren't for the fact that Firefox and Opera were both gaining ground, Microsoft wouldn't give a shoot. It's thanks to these two great browsers that Microsoft finally gets its act together. Although I have a feeling it's only going to be half-hearted this time around too.
