yet again i hear the anti-microsoft brigade on the march ...

do these people shout and holler about netscape? how could netscape release netscrap 4.x, a browser that simply didn't work. why did it take them so long to release 6.x? why did they release 6.0, another browser that simply didn't work properly, was a pain to install, repeatedly crashed and still didn't display sites properly? how could such a large corporation neglect loyal users for so long?

and what about the other alternatives? what about Opera? why on earth did they release a browser that had barely any support for javascript? what sort of following do they expect when their browser simply won't display a large number of websites with DHTML?

the bottom line is that no browser is perfect, but they are all free. at least IE works, which is a lot more than can be said for the alleged competitor browsers.

so, is anyone actually using IE? yes, about 95% of my site visitors use IE.

i expect that if netscrap and other browsers were as popular as IE, hackers would find just as many security holes in them as they manage to find in IE. the thing is, there is no point hunting for security holes in netscrap or opera because usage is so low.
