Internet & Networking "How do the latest versions of each browser compare? For this prizefight, we looked at Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft's first new Internet browser since 2001 and Mozilla Firefox 2, Mozilla's update of its popular Firefox 1.5 browser released in November 2005." This will be the last Firefox 2 vs. IE7 article. I promise.

"I wonder if someone researched what particular thing Firefox does the slowest and made a page that purposely makes the most use of it."

There's no conspiracy or plot involving your "someone researched what ways Firefox sucks and exploited it" theory. That page was designed by MS to show IE7's improvements over IE6 (which totally chokes on that page), not to show Firefox's weaknesses. That Firefox just happens to suck at dealing with the page when compared to Safari, IE7, and Opera is just a bonus as far as MS is concerned. ;-)
