[MIX06] Corporate types to Microsoft - Don't Change A Thing!
As a web developer who's into web standards, I cringed when I heard the feedback several corporate IT guys gave the IE team at Mix06:
"Don't change too much! Don't release too often! Keep IE7 like IE6, but add some printing options!"
I totally disagree with all of this, but I understand that the changes IE is making to become more standards compliant will be a major inconvenience to corporate IT shops who view IE as a stable platform. Who woulda thunk that IE7 would have swung towards standards compliance?
This gave me a greater appreciation for the variety of opinion the IE team is hoping to satisfy with this next release - they're being asked to go in several opposing directions at once, and somehow seem to be keeping people pretty happy with how they're responding.
