Why is Microshaft still the worst company in the world? What's

Backwards compatibility is the reason why IE is still around. Microsoft didn't give a shit about conforming to standards till around IE 9 and the internet is still paying the price for it.

That's bullshit, my man.

Microshaft is just lazy.

And "backward compatibility" is just a buzzword to keep making shitty products.

South Korea for example has a law that you must use an activex control for any online transactions because only IE supports the SEED cipher they require. Some people are literally stuck with IE because microsoft didn't give a shit 15 years ago and it's caught up to them. Until the need to use IE for legacy stuff is gone, IE will remain around.

Damn. I've used American and Israeli internet in my life, (yeah, I'm a merchant,) and from what I've read/experienced they're both shit in comparison to South Korea, but do people actually have to use IE as their browser there?

In south korea, any online transactions like banking or shopping require the use of a special certificate in the form of an activex control by law. South Korea is thankfully planning to nuke it soon, especially if moon jae-in wins the election. It was made in the late 90s when the then current certificates weren't strong enough for south koreas liking, but now it's obsolete.

I know but as long things like windows comes bundled with hardware and microsoft has deals with public institutions the average joe will keep enabling their bullshit without even knowing because most people just use whatever you give to them unless you have a huge advertising power (for example chrome being advertised everywhere and coming bundled with tons of installers).
