Introducing Windows 11

I'm sure they're refering to the undying love every single web developer had for Internet Explorer.

I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter what they are referring to. What they are clearly suggesting is false, and they should know better.

> The web was born and grew up on Windows

The first part is just a lie, the second part is open for interpretation, but certainly not the formative years.

In the late 90s, IE4 and then IE5 was the gold standard. We were all ecstatic when we didn't have to support Netscape 4 anymore. It wasn't until Firefox (more specifically Firebug) was mature that IE lost the crown.

Maybe for you. For us the best usage of IE was to download Netscape Navigator .

IE4 maybe, it was downhill after that.

I'm pretty sure this was a sarcastic comment
