Anonymous Coward writes "One of the fields that WordPress has flirted with in the past, but has never fully embraced is data classification: archives, repositories, special collections and other systems of data typology.

Oh please, what a joke, MS is simply trying to play like Apple and try to get people excited which is such a joke. It's a crappy browser and it always has been. I would shave my head if MS actually came out with something actually intuitive or standards based for their next browser, itll simply be more of the same, going it alone and trying to force developers and users to use their junky implementation of some well known web standard.
