Internet Explorer in captivity

, 2 minutes to read

ie9 logo

Microsoft is a company based on the Pacific coast. It is closer to Seoul than to Prague. The environment in Europe is diverse and very different from that of North America. Therefore, ideas that seem great there may not be so great in the European context. Windows is changing a lot at the moment, and so is Internet Explorer. If you want to influence the changes, you have several options to do so. Microsoft has recently started to listen to its customers outside the business in a big way.

UserVoice

UserVoice is a service that can connect end customers and business companies. Users write their ideas for improvement and vote among themselves on the most important ones.

Dev Platform

It serves as a tool for web developers to provide feedback on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, performance, and F12 developer tools. wpdev.uservoice.com

Windows Feature Suggestions

It is for end users, who can express their wish for Windows to look a little different than it does now. windows.uservoice.com

Connect

Microsoft Connect is a tool that you can use to report a technical error in any Windows component. This link is double-edged. The plus is that it goes directly to the developers, the minus is that you have to provide an example on which you can repeatedly raise the bug report. connect.microsoft.com/ie

Twitter

Twitter is actually a kind of global chat.

#AskIE

Every once in a while, a lot of people from the IE team get together on Twitter and talk to the developers using the hashtag AskIE. twitter.com/hashtag/askie

@IEDevChat

If you don't want to wait, you can briefly ask the IE team directly about IEDevChat. twitter.com/iedevchat

status.modern.IE

It shows the IE team’s current opinion on HTML5, W3C, ECMAscript, and IETF techniques. What is being implemented now, what is being implemented later, and what is not yet being considered. You can show your disagreement by voting. status.modern.ie

Windows Feedback

In Windows 10 Technical Preview, the app is Windows Feedback. You can find it pinned in the start menu. It’s used to give you feedback about the next version of Windows. You must categorize each opinion into the correct category and subcategory. Internet Explorer has a separate category. It’s not without reason. preview.windows.com
