For some reason I’m giving Internet Explorer another chance and making an effort to use IE7. They’re claiming “we heard you” as a tagline for the product, but I don’t think they did.

IE is still the browser with the highest market share. MS wants to keep it that way.
Let's see how a usual web developer HAS to work at the moment. He writes a page for a customer who is using IE. He knows, that the majority of users out there are doing the same thing. So he wants the web developer to write code, that works on IE.
The web developer is now forced, to write FALSE and BAD code so IE displays the page "correctly".. what in return makes the page ugly in every other, w3c conform browser..
The casual user with no clue about technology and standards opens the page in IE and sees "oh.. it looks good".. then you tell him to use Firefox because it's better.. so he opens the page in Firefox and guess what.. the page looks like crap or doesn't work at all, because the underlying code is "optimized" for IE, meaning, it's wrong and bad code, a good browser just refuses to handle. So the casual user thinks "hey! leave me alone with Firefox.. i wanna have a GOOD browser.. see, Firefox can't show this page.. my beloved IE can!".. and he keeps using IE.
Belive me.. it happens.. i experienced it myself..
So i agree with you. I really don't think, that ALL developers at MS are crap and just CAN'T fix the problems.. their paln is it to keep those bugs in there for the above mentioned reason.
Sad world..
