Microsoft IE9 team engages nerds via reddit's IAmA section

Microsoft IE9 team engages nerds via reddit's IAmA section

IE9 is all about being open and "making the Web a more beautiful place." In that spirit, Microsoft has done something I've never seen a browser maker do before: its IE9 product team just went on reddit, directly talking to the community and answering questions.

These are the actual developers - not PR people (not that I have anything against PR people!). The thread is huge, and as you can expect, it's mostly composed of comments by the reddit community. But when you scroll down, comments from the Microsoft team start popping up. Some of them are very technical, which is great, and it's exactly what you wouldn't normally get from a spokesperson.

The IAmA session is going on right now, so if you hurry over, you might be able to participate and get some direct answers from Microsoft for your IE9-related questions!
