Microsoft appoints a new IE evangelist

Microsoft has boosted the prospects for some enhancements to Internet Explorer by appointing a new member to its product management team.

Some analysts believe the appointment means that the much-criticized browser will get a polish before the next major version of the Windows operating system, Longhorn, is released and IE's importance begins to fade.

Dave Massy, a technical evangelist at Microsoft, worked on the early development of IE but moved to the Longhorn team a few years ago--at around the same time the company won the war against Netscape and appeared to lose interest in dramatically changing its browser. On Massy's Web log on Monday he said the move "isn't big news" but confirmed he would be working on providing the development team with requests from customers.

Not sure evangelist is what they mean or the correct term to use:

evangelist

a "publisher of glad tidings;" a missionary preacher of the gospel (Eph. 4:11).

This title is applied to Philip (Acts 21:8), who appears to have gone from city

to city preaching the word (8:4, 40). Judging from the case of Philip,

evangelists had neither the authority of an apostle, nor the gift of prophecy,

nor the responsibility of pastoral supervision over a portion of the flock.

They were itinerant preachers, having it as their special function to carry the

gospel to places where it was previously unknown. The writers of the four

Gospels are known as the Evangelists.

No offence to other browswer users, but it seems with IE's seemless integration with windows, ie the windows update, bho's, active x (which is sometimes bad...) and other features currently out, it makes the most sense to use. I admit, IE does had MANY flaws, but it seems they are working on it. Go M$! :D

I had the man down as one who wandered round mumbling incantations and beatitudes like

Blessed are Ctrl.Alt and Del for they shall unencumber us.

Blessed are big businesses for they shall enrich us.

Blessed are the spammers for they shall provide us with get outs.

Blessed is the US justice system for it shall not defeat us.

Blessed are the public for being so gullible.

:shifty:
