SCOTT STEARNS, THE TEST MANAGER FOR INTERNET EXPLORER AT MICROSOFT, jumps into the blogspher with a big 'KICK ME' sign on his rump with the post I Love This Browser!
I hopefully got your attention with the title of my first post. And it is definitely true for me, as I have loved browsing the web since I started way back in the mid 90s, and I really love browsing with IE. Yet, you may ask who I am or who we are that will be posting on this blog.Strange he should say that when his real achievement has been to make the worst browser on the web the top browser.I am Scott Stearns, the test manager for the Microsoft Internet Explorer team (as Dean says we will be pulling together full bios of people later). The IE team as we usually say. Some of us have our individual blogs today, but we also wanted to have one that was focused on what we do every day at work -- make Internet Explorer the best way for browsing the web.
Yes, by dint of his unremitting tream management, attention to design-flaw detail, and star class software rewriting team, Internet Explorer has become the most used browser in cyberspace. Some will say that it has happened because it was bundled in with Windows, but they are just spoil sports.
Indeed, without the gaping security holes and lack of functionality and standards in Internet Explorer, the web would be a whole lot more boring than it is. So let's give it up for Stearns and his crack team of Microsoft Kool-Aid Addicts by playing another round of Ballmer's iPod!
