[snip] Yeah, and I still have the 3.5 inch disks of other browsers that preceded Netscape -- but, that's not the point. The point is that M$ will not bow down to w3c, or any other standard set, unless it's proved to them it's in their best interest to do so. As is it now, they still can rain on any standard's parade and do whatever they want. Just take a look at how they handle Unicode in URLs in IE7. As for browsers being left in the dust, web designers still have to design for even outdated browsers to get the greatest number of visitors -- and that fact will be around for a long time. Keep in mind that the rest of the world is tuning into the net via equipment and software that may not be the newest and best. So, if you want that market, then you have to consider their environment. [/snip] That is where the boat was missed at the beginning, there were never standards and had there been (prior to M$ acknowledging that the internet would be a 'big thing') things would be quite different.
