I highly disagree - especially in the browser area, it took many years to break Internet Explorer's total dominance, and the browser is what mattered most to consumers as the Internet became used by more and more everyday people. IE 4/5/6 was a golden era for Microsoft and many corporations are still stuck on IE6 as a base. Fortunately the consumer market is no longer dominated by IE; now that we have at least 4 major browser platforms across all OS's (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) many websites have to be somewhat standards compliant.
- narrator 14y agoI'm just glad they pulled some features out of IE6 because of the anti-trust investigation. Anyone remember Smart Tags? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_tag_(Microsoft) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_tag_(Microsoft) MS was basically going to put ads in every page on the Internet via the browser.
