market? have you ever directly paid for NS or IE? It is a great marketing
tool for its other apps, I'll admit, but it isn't like MS delivers shoddy
products (no comment on IIS) - of course, I speak as a VAR for a product
that was released YEARS before they got the bugs to a barely tolerable
level. My mantra is, we aren't dealing with Microsoft here, we aren't
dealing with Microsoft here. . .

It all depends on how you look at it. If you want to design an IE 4/5
only site you still loose 13 percent of customers, so it would be
better if it were 100%.
If also means that 1 company controls 87% of the market, which
(arguably) people might consider a bad thing.
BTW, here at Uni it is not the current stats that is interesting, it is
the way they change. Mozilla (and all the stuff that uses their
rendering engine) has almost doubled over the last month. Despite many
sites recognizing it as Netscape and using NN 4.x tags like "layer"
while Mozilla supports the W3C standard "div".
