Litmus is nice, but if you need faster screenshot application (and not so expensive) - take a look at BrowserSeal cross browser testing utility

[...] week I wrote about an IE6 battle featuring Litmus and PushUp. It’s a war that divides the web with very valid arguments on both sides. Should we continue [...]

Great, really glad we have achieved this

Absolutely. Agreed. On all fronts; grammar, privacy, Betas, browser wars, IE6’s hopelessness, etc. etc.

Ok, let’s try some compromise: PushUp serves a good cause but has some flaws and should not do it at all if Microsoft did its job right. Will that be fine?

And sorry, I thought it was an irony, not a compliment. When you don’t know the rules and often follow your intuition, it is hard to determine if you are actually right or wrong, after all

But that’s partly my point Svetlana – the browsers are not force-updating, so I see PushUp’s script as an immediate, albeit temporary “patch” to the problem. If we wait for Microsoft to act, we’ll all be old and computers will be a “thing of the past”.

You colon use was perfect. I was complimenting you.

Exactly, this is why I don’t understand why I should make my readers look at constant reminders that they should upgrade while this should be the job done by Microsoft actually.

As for the colon, I am a complete idiot when it comes to punctuation in English so I guess I will now have to study a few manuals finally.

Yes I agree Svetlana. Everyone knows it, in the case of IE6 it’s the designers and developers who pay in time and labour, to “work around” a poor product. Bad on you Microsoft.

PS – I love your colon use: the World has become so ungrammatical in these times of screen writing.

@dawnprofies: I understand your appreciation of PushUp for trying to do something good and probably a beta tag would have really made me less harsh on them (stupid me) but my major concern is here: why don’t we demand the the developers of browsers don’t push their users to upgrade to stable versions (with some exceptions, I mean) instead of relying on sites owners to do their job?

How long have you been using PushUp Gil..? Have you had any positive or negative feedback from readers about it..?
