Statistics are like bikinis. IE statistics.

without comments

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. ~Aaron Levenstein.

Microsoft has released statistical feature-comparison of its browser IE8 with other popular browsers. And guess what, they have exposed only what is interesting to them, concealing vital information. I could only laugh at their wordings (for example, under Manageability: Neither Firefox nor Chrome provide guidance or enterprise tools: my my, please tell me what guidance and enterprise tools do they miss) and wrongful advertising of misinformation.

I was immediately reminded of another joke site where IE6 was compared to other browsers. Microsoft seems to have misunderstood this site: they have missed the sarcasm and copied the concept from it.

This is a much more objective comparison.
