Being the football fan that I am, following like 7 football championship, it's very important to have some website where I can read follow-ups, watch summaries and goals, read few articles, etc. So I am a big fan. I was trying to find a decent football website in the Arab area, since I need to read more about our local championships.

This will give you some very good idea about how Microsoft implements Web Standards: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx is Internet Explorer 7.0 Home Page. These are validation results of the page using W3C validators: HTML: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fwindows%2Fie%2Fdefault.mspx

First of all, this could be really a useful link for web developers: MSDN page about IE 7 compatibility. I quickly read the above article and then re-read MSDN page about IE 6 compatibility and felt like I need to comment on some points:

This could be very strange but it's tested: When styling Arabic text, setting the text-transform to "capitalize" using the selector "first-letter" will break the first letter and draw it separated from the rest of the word which doesn't happen to the same text using text-transform without the selector. Try it if you're interested and let me know what you think. I personally believe it's a wrong application of the capital letters in Arabic, where the separate letter is considered a capital one, I recall the early days of Office applications doing this.

Finally, I had the opportunity to introduce some quick intro about the web and some of my concerns, ideas and knowledge to audience of a seminar held at OpenCraft's head quarters.
The atmosphere was, as usual, very friendly and very nice. For those who attended and those whom I was unlucky not to meet I post the seminar summary.
