I think Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team is really being held back, and I’m not sure if they don’t have the funding to create the team that’s needed or if their team just doesn’t work well together. I think there’s something behind the scenes that we don’t see that’s causing them to struggle with getting releases out that blow other browsers away.

You would have thought that Microsoft would have redone the search feature in Internet Explorer so that it absolutely would blow your socks off...why? Because searching is the main focus of Windows Vista! ;) That’s actually funny you mention the find feature in Internet Explorer 7.

The "status quo" just isn't good enough. To contrast with Microsoft, they release IE 7 that still has the same crappy "find" feature that hides the very word you were searching for.
