Ian Hickson talks some more about backward compatibility and advancing the web in the face of IE6. As he lists all the things IE can't, won't, and never will do, I think: IE sucks so very much.

But, at least IE is a stable platform to react against. You don't have to worry about dead end products pulling the rug out from under you. Maybe IE7 is the right direction -- it's ironic, though, that IE's competitors have to consider improving IE just so their own products' improvements are useable.
