Maybe now we'll see more websites that are standards compliant.

yes indeed. the bbc article i mention above says 10% of websites don't work properly with firefox, essentially pointing out that those sites are non IE compliant. In my opinion, this will simply mean IE specific sites get less visitors, so there will end up being less IE specific sites.

Aloone_Jonez:
I can't remember the last time I saw an Active X control apart on a website from Windows update or one of those dodgy online spy/adware scanners of course.

WMD:
IE for Mac is so bad, they probably want to cancel it out of embarassment.  I know I would.  It doesn't even work with MS's own websites sometimes!

themacuser:
Finally Microsoft does something good for the world.

It only had about 80% marketshare on the Mac since Netscape died...

Safari truly murdered it, and Firefox finished the job off.
