Microsoft has set back Web development by an immeasurable amount of time. My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators. ... With the redesign of my own site last month, I discovered just how non-compliant IE is with basic CSS: IE 52% vs. Firefox 93%. Is Microsoft purely incompetent and tone-deaf to customers — or simply counting on IE's non-compliance remaining a de-facto standard?
I'm sure he'll still give it 5 out of 5 stars, as he's contractually obligated to do so. However, I think this is the first time Paul really got upset with Microsoft. Microsoft has to be doing something extraordinarily bad to get the grief of their #1 fanboy.
In answer to Paul's question, I'd say the latter. Microsoft is notorious for implementing their own special way of doing something, then using their market dominance to leverage it.

That would explain his newfound hatred of the program.

Haven't kept up with him as much lately, but he has been hard on IE for years and years; one of the things he's absolutely right about.
