IE8 Has Failed Me For The Last Time |

Let me elaborate.
Recently I was trying to chat on facebook with IE8 and I practically had to type each letter twice. So that made me curious to see which browsers Facebook supports.
Get this, facebook supports only the latest versions of each browser. So say you have Windows XP, you can't update to IE9 because IE9 isn't available for WinXP. So what are you supposed to do?
Well I hadn't switched yet for simple reasons, I didn't feel the need to change. As long as something works, I guess I'll just continue using it.
So now that IE8 really failed me in a major way, I switched to google Chrome and what can I say, browsing the web has never been easier.
So what did I learn today?
Facebook doesn't care about backwards compatibility
And Microsoft continually make programmer's and user's lives more difficult
And Google Chrome rocks.
That's all folks
