From the Dark Side--M$ Web Browser Monopoly Hit 96 Per Cent

according to this ZDNet news article. This monopoly, like the one Microsoft has on operating systems, has its consequences:

"At this point, however, competing browsers face an increasingly difficult task in battling the IE monolith. Because of its market dominance, Web designers generally test their pages on IE alone, with the result that pages sometimes do not render correctly in other browsers--even if those browsers are more standards-compliant than IE."

M$ simply thumbs its nose at standards to maintain and increase its monopoly. We use Mozilla. [Dana Baggett]
