karmcity: A hilarious graphic made by Microsoft showing that their IE9 browser, slated for a late 2010 release, is slower than today’s competing browsers. I really don’t understand why Microsoft would think to publish this — unless they’re trying to highlight how much more work they have to do. Actually, I bet they’re trying to communicate how much faster Internet Explorer is becoming compared to previous iterations. This is a classic example of the bubble Microsoft employees live in. They think consumers care about relative speed increases. In reality, consumers want whatever the fastest is and nothing else matters. The graph also says, “Look how bad IE8 is compared to today’s browsers! You really have no reason to use IE today.”
