    I've thought for a while now that a big part of the reason the IE dominates, even though Mozilla is around and is clearly better in many ways, is that designers have the attitude "I only care if this works on IE." Just today I have come across three sites that bounced me to "Only works with IE" screens. Incidentally, all three of these sites worked just fine with Mozilla when I tricked them into lettting me in.

    If designers start making use of some of the really cool things you can do in Mozilla that won't work in IE then I think there'd be a lot more adoption of non-MS browsers. I also think this might push MS to try for better standards compliance which would reduce everyone's headaches with things not lining up properly, etc.
