What is Microsoft thinking?
Saturday, January 13th, 2007 leave comment orMicrosoft is pulling their IE-based rendering engine for Outlook 2007 and replacing it with Word.
What are they thinking? Developing email newsletters that work across most email clients is a challenge because they render HTML and CSS quite differently than a web browser. When designing an email newsletter you must consider many email clients that render your HTML and CSS and design your newsletter accordingly, resulting in something much simpler than what you’d publish to the web. With this announcement, they’re taking a step even further in the wrong direction. Among others, say goodbye to background images and CSS positioning/floats. Is it April 1st?
