That's ridiculous when 90% of the users out there don't even have a f**king clue as to what is compliant. All users want to do is surf and be happy. What you meant to say was that you wish people would jump on the bandwagon because you hate Microsoft and wished they would just die. Be honest.
IE should continue to rule. I make so much money of noobs coming in here with their spyware riddled bogged down computers.Customer : "My computer has become so slow now"Me "You will need more ram"Customer "Ok I will have some of that"Me: "Please come again"IE forever.
Replying to my own comment here.. but just wanted to add a word about Opera.Looks like my joy over Opera's speed was shortlived as after just two days of using it it again started with the old quirks I remember seeing in previous builds: some pages just simply wont load. After browsing a few pages, you click on link and nothing happens. Nothing. Back to trusty FF for me.

The newest version of Opera is very full featured and it would be my 1st choice.

Umm..."Current global estimates (2004-5) indicate that there are upwards of 700 million of us online, 840 million according to the GlobalReach research agency."(Source: <a class="user" href="http://www.bcentral.co.uk/business-information/marketing/ebusiness/how-many-people-use-the-internet-what-do-they-use-it-for.mspx)">http://www.bcentral.co.uk/business-information/marketing/ebusiness/how-many-people-use-the-internet-what-do-they-use-it-for.mspx)</a>Ok so lets see... 2% of 700,000,000 that's 14,000,000. 2% of 840,000,000 that's 16,800,000. That's a HELL OF A LOT OF PEOPLE who now use firefox instead of Internet Explorer. It's certainly a lot more people than you can shake a stick at.

I've been using the 2.0 beta for a while. I love it.

I wonder who could have possibly paid for that article. Google? I've never known Forbes to publish anything other than a reworded press release:<a class="user" href="http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html">http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html</a>
