We tend to forget how advanced IE for both Windows and Mac when they still made it was in fact the first to implement #CSS (IE 3) and while we suffered IE 6 lasted a long time despite the problems with interop. Sad to see #IE and #Edge go and #Chrome monoculture emerge. We tried!

Web development's reaction to Microsoft abandoning EdgeHTML is basically "we hated your browser but please don't stop making it".

Yeah, it was grueling and Web Standards Project worked alongside others to help. I pissed off a few Microsoft folks and argued with Bill Gates F2F to fix IE 6. I think he liked being challenged. The two women in the room, me and the lovely Kelly @gotomedia were invited back.
