IE8 is still Evil!

Why is IE8 still evil?
  1. Incomplete/Incorrect DOM support
  2. No SVG support
  3. Incomplete CSS support
  4. No HTML5 support
  5. No SMIL support
  6. Poor, incorrect, and slow JavaScript implementation
  7. Proprietary features like "Accelerators" that require additional non-standard markup

Of course this is all intentional. Microsoft is NOT incompetent; but evil!
Technologies like HTML5, SVG animations, CSS animations and SMIL would make Silverlight (and Flash) redundant.
Microsoft wants to push its proprietary Silverlight and try to keep the WWW a proprietary extension of Windows (via ActiveX) for as long as possible.

Internet Explorer is Evil!
