Microsoft kills any attempt to develop webapplication
If you would like to create a web application you will probably need to add
some dynamic images. This is not possible on Internet Explorer (5.0/5.5/6.0) on Windows XP.
Microsoft has managed to break something which has worked for years and is not
particularly hard. (a loading queue is a common concept among programmers)
With this bug Microsoft has effectively disabled any attempt to create webapplications.
And since webapplications or thin-clients are it's biggest business threat
one can only speculate on why it is there and why (with a research budget of over $60 billion)
it still has not been fixed...

Press any key to trigger some dynamic image adding. ( 7 lines of code to bring XP to it's knees)
(show no mercy.. eg. rapidly press some keys)
