Webkit Discovers Bug in Acid3 Test, Now scores 100
Webkit, Apple’s open source engine for Safari and many other browsers, has recently found a bug in the ACID3 test. ACID3 is the newest web standards test certified in part by the W3. After the bug was fixed in the ACID3 test, Webkit suddenly got a perfect score of 100/100. When I retried Firefox/Gekko, I was kind of surprised that the score actually went down one point to 67/100 (Last time I tested it, it had a 68/100). Opera’s newest engine, then scored a 100/100 as well along with Webkit. Although this version of Opera is not released yet, and should be in a week or so.
It seems to me that Apple is finely becoming a worthy competitor to IE, Firefox, and Opera. At this point Mozilla has a lot of work to do to catch up, Webkit is still the only publicly released engine with HTML5. As with IE, it’s no competition at this point, it’s most important feature is updating Windows for now.

There are ActiveX only utilities out on the market. One that pops into my head immediately is http://www.pcpitstop.com. Another thing that pops into my head is the web browser version of Exchange. It looks completely different when you use any web browser that is Internet Explorer. Of course, you can browse these sites using IETab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419) which allows you to use Internet Explorer inside any Mozilla web browser.
