This back-and-forth is actually good for everyone. IE had an easy monopoly in browsers. Firefox set a cat among the pigeons in browser market. But even Firefox got complacent after a while. Later, Safari browsers came around and open-sourced WebKit (Google Chrome uses the same Engine). And recent versions of IE has caught up in terms of performance. So basically, competition is good in long term. -Shamit -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
