One thing you can't fault Microsoft on: Their browsers have always been more compliant than the competition. I mean... Netscape? :slap:

Compare them to other Windows browsers, IE is always more W3C compliant.

nah, people write towards MSIE because its got the majority of the market, and its got the majority of the market due to unfair business practice. It never should have come to this...Netscape is much more true to the colours and code then MSIE ever has been. Remember when MS finally got out on the net? they were all of a day late and a dollar short, they cheated the entire way to steal netshare back from Netscape.

and yeah, konqueror, i like konqueror.

Go read like... a book. Any of the O'Reily HTML books have very good browser to browser comparison of all html tags, their W3C intended purpose and the actual result in each browser. Netscape is always dead last on feature compatibility. And let's not forget when Netscape tried to create their own positioning conventions.

If it wasn't for MSIE, we'd still be paying for web browsers.

:rofl: Are you serious? Netscape used to be $49.99 at your local software outlet. That's what the big fuss monopoly fuss was about. Netscape practically went out of business because Internet Explorer was FREE built into operating system and also free to download.

the big fuss was that microsoft used unfair coding conventions to lock out competitors. Netscape was meant to be a free platform to support Java, Java was meant to be the basis of new operating systems taht would be licensed for use from Sun.

That was the second monopoly fuss. From Netscape's point of view, mind you. The whole judicial process came about because Internet Explorer came packaged with Windows, which was - to Netscape - unfair business practice, because who would go buy a competitor's product when they already had IE? IE still has immense netshare simply because people are either A) too lazy or B) too cheap to download or purchase other products.
