lordshipmayhemThis fellow here has been testing the various Windows and Mac OS browsers out there against the World Wide Web Consortium standard, to see who gets closest to following the rules. Linux isn't a tested operating system.
To what should be nobody's surprise, the lowest slots are all filled with versions of Explorer, the best of which hit a staggering 17%. Safari on the Mac gets #1 with 90%, and the various Gecko 1.9 based browsers (Firefox, Seamonkey and Camino) on Mac get tied at 69%. The amusing thing is that at 13%, the comparatively ancient IE 5.5 on Win2K is more compliant than either 6 or 7, on either XP or Vista.
Steve Ballmer, your code monkeys have got some work to do.
