I'm working on the U:Desk project at this moment, and I really have to say this.

"Microsoft Internet Explore Sucks!"

I do understand that not every web browser perfectly follows the web standards, suggested by W3C, but IE seems like it seriously does not.

We, U:Desk team, test U:Desk on number of browsers such as Firefox, Safari, and of course IE. IE is the only browser that cannot show the web pages how we wanted them to show, while the other browsers do just fine.

These are the "W3C XHTML 1.0 valid" U:Desk snapshots.

U:Desk on Firefox 3

U:Desk on Internet Explorer 6

The bad news is that IE is the market leader, meaning more than half of the Internet users are using IE, so we have to look for a way for U:Desk to look fine on IE, by not following the web standards.

The web standards are not mandatorial, but they need to be kept for efficient web contents development.

I hope the next version of IE, which MS says it will consider the web standards, would keep the standards.
