And note that the reverse strategy might be working for Netscape/Mozilla project now. I mean, why download another browser if the one that came with your system is perfectly fine? Well there's at least one reason... Currently I'm designing a fairly involved intranet application and basically have made the decision to design to standards and use the Mozilla browser as a favored client rather than working around the IE6 shortcomings. For internet it is still the same old lowest common denominator approach, but "in house" is a different story.
