IE Makes it Impossible to Troubleshoot Feeds
This morning, a subscriber notified us that one of our master feeds was broken. I loaded ‘er up in IE, only to (once again) be faced with cripped pieces of feedback. Yes, the browser shows me part of the error, but doesn’t actually tell me where the error is! Without some form of context, I have to dig deeper. Screw that. I have to fire up FireFox just to learn more about a problem. IE7 better be better on the code troubleshooting front. In related news, our new forums output RSS for searches. The server is definitely being brought to its knees, but we’re getting another one in place ASAP. You want proof? You can’t handle the proof.
Stop wasting your time trying to fix computer issues over the phone or the Internet. Use GoToAssist to connect to the other person's machine remotely.

I am going to hate myself come tomorrow for doing this but here it is regardless (sticking up for IE):
Even with this challenge, IE7 does offer more RSS usability for “Joe User” than Firefox. Having said this, you are right. There is no question that those of us out there trying to nail down issues with specific RSS feeds has to kick-start open another browser instead of doing so in the browser we started off with (IE). I am willing to bet the IE folks are watching this and will do the right thing before the browser goes primetime.
