We just both agree that their priorities have been wrong :-) But IE9 will have round corners—so it seems that, eventually, they do catch up. @Dame: Agreed @Les: it’s a matter of priorities, I think.

Is? I would have thought that was already the case. The only people who have yet to wisen upto that fact are the users, ie those who are generically using IE as it’s the default browser for their current version of OS.

It is just not worth it most of the time. And so user interfaces look better - even though IE8 is not a bad browser - in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. And as a matter of fact, non technical users do care about the looks... I have for a long time now used rounded corners in web design without resorting to hacks to make it appear the same in IE.
