If The Internet Explorer 9 Commercial Was Honest

What has Internet Explorer on Mac, which was discontinued in 2003, to do with Internet Explorer 9? Or for that matter, the Office paper clip? Or a site that won't load?<p>It makes no sense to me. I am certain that IE9 has many flaws when compared to it's competitors, but this video doesn't show any of them.

For me IE is and has pretty much always been much, much faster than firefox. Like it or not, almost all websites will work with it. It's not as extensible as the alternatives, but if you use multiple computers or just don't care about extensions it can make a very good browser. It's time to stop the childish hate.

How is this Hacker News material?

This cracked me up, in general, but I didn't get the reference to him using IE on Mac or why he was using IE on a Mac? It kind of ruins the joke since IE9 isn't even on Mac? ...am I missing something?

Lame. I know it has some flaws but IE9 is probably the best IE they've made for a long time. I don't use it much except for testing sites to make sure they work. I really don't have to do any IE9 specific tweaks like with 7. I've not had any video buffering issues specific to IE either. Generally that has to do with the source.

I'm not a fan of IE, but I didn't expect it to be targeted on TC like this.
