- A modern approach to browser support | Clearleft clearleft.com
We wanted a browser support policy that would focus on outcomes for the user. Rather than being fixated on specific browsers, we needed to consider capabilities, using the mindset that sees modern coding use feature detection in preference to browser detection. It turns out there’s an initiative for that.

- The Skinny on IE's Update Policy « Paul Irish paulirish.com
"The big change is how IE now interacts with Windows Update: Before you had to opt-in to have "Recommended" updates installed automatically. It's likely few folks did. Now, IE upgrades are shipping as "Important" and this class of updates are defaulted to install automatically. A user can still opt-out and immediately after the announcement of this feature they also published details on how enterprises can opt-out. But still, this is a good move, it helps."

"<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge,chrome=1″>
As a webmaster, you can use this simple meta tag that the new stable release of Google Chrome Frame can detect, and if present, will render the page using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer. This gives users the appearance of using IE, but the speed and standards compliance, and security of Chrome."

"The iPhone has become an obsession. If we don’t pay attention, we’ll have a mobile web that only works on the iPhone. And then we’ll have the real mobile web that wasn’t made by us and doesn’t give a shit about web standards and best practices." Overstating things somewhat but still a useful reminder.
