I was laughing when I saw this one,
The most legitimate browser shootout. (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/get-the-facts/browser-comparison.aspx)

My favorite quote,

Firefox and Chrome have more support for emerging standards like HTML5 and CSS3, but Internet Explorer 8 invested heavily in having world-class, consistent support for the entire CSS2.1 specification.

You might have to be a web developer to understand the humor in some of this, but it's pretty darn good.

It's a brilliant campain, really. The people that know better generally use firefox/chrome/whatever anyway

Its 2009. And M$ never managed to fix the annoying flicker when a page is refreshed/reloaded, mostly visible when the page loads instantly. Firefox does it beautifully and there is absolutely no flicker.

At first seeing that much of that comparison is nothing but blatant lies made me angry, but then the thought that only retards would ever believe it made me feel a bit better. In the end, what will tip the scales is how good their product is, not how many tall tales they can tell.
