Web Developer's Responsibility

I found this great post:
A Web Developer's Responsibility.
Just a quick remark. Reporting a bug in IE8, should be done with an Add-on, which can be downloaded from: Microsoft Connect

Although I am not a web developer, I rememerred a bug, I found in IE7, and just wanted to report, but did not have the time for it.
I decided to do it now.

Downloaded an IE8 virtual machine from:
Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image.

Tested my old rendering bug, created a demo site for it.
Uploaded to a free hosting site: 000webhost, I just googled up.
(Warning! 000webhost might be dangerous, check out this post! Although I did not experience the same, but you better choose another hosting.)

And submitted the bug with the add-on. (Nice work MS! It is just quick and easy to submit a bug. It seems, you really want user feedback.)

You might not want recommend (even with a disclaimer) 000webhost. I found that they are trying to infect your machine with malware. See the complete writeup here: 000webhost.com trying to install malware.

As an alternative, if you have a Googlepages account, you can use it to host files. They are not migrating over to something called Google sites, so you can't sign up for new accounts and I don't know if that will allow to host custom HTML pages, but probably it will.

Best regards.

I found your post, after my posting, but 000webhost did not ask me to install anything.

I checked Googlepages/Sites but could not find an easy way to upload a file and two images.

I added a link to your blog.

Thanks!
