Windows Phone 7 has a terrible browser and 'm disappointed that they haven't updated the rendering engine to at least IE8 yet.
If they give you one free, use it to hold down a stack of paper on your desk.

But please, for the love of the Internet DO NOT USE A WINDOWS PHONE TO BROWSE THE WEB.

It uses Internet Exploder 7 as its rendering engine and it pretty much breaks everything that regular IE7 broke. As well, it looks just plain ugly. The scaling isn’t really anti-aliased and looks terrible.

It’s a terrible browsing experience overall and as a web developer I am afraid I’ll have to hurt you if you make my life harder by using Windows Phone 7.

Thank-you.

So I worked on a new animation which features an original character. Sooty Mouse is modelled after the mice you see sometimes in the subway.
