IE and Standards…. Do You Sense the Irony?
I thought this was intersting. Rachel Andrew wrote a review on Microsoft’s Expression Web, its web editing tool for designers and developers:

Page 3 of the Quick Start Guide opens with the words:
“Standards-based websites”
Expression Web solves a problem facing all web designers today: how to build websites that fully adhere to published standards, including support for XHTML.”
This is just my opinion, but I would appreciate if they created a web-browser that correctly supports standards first…

Outlook 2007… Bye Bye HTML Email Support
Just when you thought you ran out of reasons to curse the name of Microsoft… another reason rears it’s ugly head
“Well it looks as if Microsoft has screwed up royally with Outlook 2007, at least insofar as the way HTML emails are rendered. Instead of using the not-too-shabby Internet Explorer 7 rendering engine to display HTML emails, Microsoft opted to use a customized version of the Word 2007 rendering engine. That’s right, from now on your beautifully constructed HTML newsletters are going to be rendered by the crime against layout known as Microsoft Word. That fact alone was enough to send shivers down my spine, but when I dug a little deeper I discovered just how dire the situation really is.” - http://f6design.com/journal/2007/01/10/microsoft-drops-the-ball-with-outlook-2007/
