  1. Comment - Users Upset at Outlook HTML Change

    (Feb 12, 2007 - 10:47 AM)

    I believe this is Microsoft's way of continuing to support its own version of HTML, rather than supporting the w3 standard. This is a huge issue for the industry because support for standards reduces time and money that would otherwise be spent porting to proprietary code. Consumers are blindsided by the marketing rhetoric that it's "easier" and "more secure". But the code generated by Word is horrible, and is only really supported by Microsoft's software (ie/outlook). The coup de grace here is that anyone not using web-based e-mail (via IE) or outlook will be out of luck.

    Antitrust, anyone?
