Microsoft Redesign Bash Unfair?
I think that Jeffrey Zeldman and Mark Pilgrim's bashing of the redesigned microsoft.com is a bit unfair. Why complaining at Microsoft when the homepages of other industry mammoths such as IBM, Netscape Communications or Sun Microsystem do not stick to standards and don't care about accessibility issues? Netscape's DevEdge is certainly the only site of the Netscape Network to be built with web standards and to use pure CSS layout. Just like Zeldman reminded that Microsoft was employing web standard guru, such as Tantek Celic, I'd like to suggest Eric Meyer to start evangelizing his colleagues at Netscape-TW-AOL. I suppose that this kind of usual Microsoft bashing can be blamed on the fact that a city on the top of the hill can't be hidden (a rasta proverb by the way) but the people at WaSP should definetly push big IT business to switch to standard compliant mark-up. The most difficult thing about that is probably to find skilled people in large web agencies as none of them seems to have heard about W3C...
