Heheh 🙂 Yeah…I can understand that. Personally, I’m not that adamantly anti-IE/Microsoft. I remember the days of Netscape 3/IE 3, when it was such a relief to use a browser that didn’t crash every time I used it…I’m talking about Internet Explorer. And NS Navigator 4.x was a horrible mess, Navigator 6 wasn’t much better. The Mozilla engine products, though, and Firefox in particular, seem nice and tightly written.

I’ll likely give IE 7 a shot when it comes out. Even if I don’t use it, I’d rather have a few really solid options to choose from, and its pretty unlikely that IE won’t be one of them. As a web developer, I’d particularly like to have two or three highly standards compliant browsers that together have 95% or so of the market so I can develop for those and spend time developing features not fighting browser incompatibilities. Unfortunately, it all boils down to what our users visit our site with- if its 85% IE, and 7% Firefox…guess which bugs I have to fix 🙁 Fortunately, here on this site, I can be less diplomatic.
