I just went over to the Windows Vista website, which is beautifully designed. It looks nice anyway, until I try to pull it up in Safari, my preferred browser. Then it breaks all over the place.

I have two problems with this. First, I spend tons of time trying to get my designs to work in their stupid silly browser, and I do manage to make my designs work in every major browser available.

Second, Safari is really easy to design for. In fact, I usually go to Safari first to check my designs. There is no reason for a website to not work in Safari, other than utter laziness on the part of the programmers. Unless you’re Microsoft, and you are trying to squash Apple. Which I suspect is the case. Either that or they just figure nobody from the Apple world is going to be interested in Windows Vista. Which is probably a good assumption. But still, what if I did want to check out Windows Vista, but couldn’t because their website booted me off?

Hmmf. And so the War of the Browsers continues.
