I love it when a major company is willing to make fun of itself a little bit. Microsoft recently launched The Browser You Loved To Hate, a website dedicated to showing how far Internet Explorer 9 is from previous versions.

Since I don’t have Windows installed on any of my computers anymore, I have not used it since it was in beta last year. However, I do remember being impressed when I did use it. It beat Safari to an integrated address/search bar and I loved the way that it put tabs to the right of address bar instead of above or below like Chrome and Safari.

Be sure to check out the second video on the page. Seriously funny. Microsoft seems to be doing good things lately. I hope they keep it up. Better competition is better for everyone.
