His co-workers don't design web pages. If cnn.com, abc.com, nbc.com,
nhl.com, espn.com and cnet.com all started designing pages that required
a higher standards compliance than MS is willing to produce, people
*would* go find a browser that let them do all the fun stuff. People
use IE for 2 reasons: Been using it for a while and have no reason to
switch (IE, competition may be just as good, but not better), or they
don't even know they have a choice
