Come on, all the bright Microsofties left a decade ago, all that's left is a bunch of n00bs I would not even consider for internships where I work .... shit, would not even let them near a calculator ...
One prime example of MS ingenuity:
How does IE11 detect intranet sites ? You know, all the MS shops have these ie6 only intranets hanging around and ie 11 must support them ... so, guess how ie detects INTRANET sites ?
if (hostNamePartOfTheURL.indexOf(".") == -1)
{
//Yay! we have an intranet site!
enable(ie6Mode);
}
Never heard of private IP address ranges or MS shops that have the intranet server in their DNS and use something like intranet.company.local.
Seriously, IT IS THAT BAD!
