Microsoft or Microsloth? Crippling Web Standards Again

dlstl — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:54:16 +0000

If you design for the web, you are aware of the constant battles of having your site or email campaign display correctly in any IE browser or Outlook mail client. Firefox and Safari have created the web standards of today and Microsoft or Microsloth, as we like to call them, have made it very clear that they don’t want to play along.

Microsoft have just confirmed they plan on using the crippled Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010.

This means for the next 5 years your email designs will need tables for layout, have no support for CSS like float and position and no background images. Not to mention the long list of bugs and quirks that break the simplest of layouts.

Outlook 2010 is still in beta and Microsoft have confirmed they want to hear your feedback on this decision. It’s time for the email marketing and design community to rally together and encourage Microsoft to embrace web standards before it’s too late.

What’s the best way to do that? Twitter of course. Visit fixoutlook.org to see how you can help and what the community is saying right now.

We at Graphic Leftovers, care about the design community, so we created these Microsloth rally badges for you to help spread the word and show your support. Let’s make the web safe for all design!
