Standards
IE9 is now being tested, the third big update for Microsoft’s browser in the past couple years. Unfortunately, it’s as much a joke as the others. On the test drive page itself, it shows an Acid3 test–and scores a dismal 55%. While it is an improvement over the laughable 20% score IE8 coughs up, it’s still a joke. Four years working furiously on this app, and Microsoft can’t even pass a web standards test better than 55%? Chrome and Safari score 100%, Opera 99%, and Firefox 93% on my computer. Is Microsoft simply incompetent, or do they truly want to break standards?
As most web designers would agree, IE makes designing web sites harder than it should be. It’d be great if (a) more people knew what a piece of junk it is, and (b) the whole world would require Microsoft to give users the browser lineup that Europe requires. It’d be great if Apple did the same thing, BTW.
I’d say go for it. Hibarigaoka is a reasonable area and as you mentioned, quite close to Koganei Park
I personally think the west side of Tokyo is the best for living. You’re still only 30 mins away from central and far enough out for less crowds etc..
The only niggling factor I can see is the distance from the station. 10 mins would be nice. I guess it depends on how nice the apartment is. Sounds nice. If you have a scooter…distance doesn’t matter so much..but then need to consider Y3000 for scooter parking.
Have you thought about Akabane?
