They won the browser wars, but it seems they are now losing the browser
peace :-)
Interesting to see Tim Bray's weblog figures: it seems that number the
browsers that report
themselves to be non-IE hovers around 50% and sometimes more. This
suggests that, for
his readership at least "Microsoft won" is ancient history. Everytime
there is a big Outlook
virus more organizations and people switch to Mozilla etczilla, getting
an alternative
browser on the way. Me, for example.
I wonder if MS also suspects this: their reluctance to enhance Explorer
further, the lack
of support for recent W3C client standards, and the development of XAML
shows they
want control of the API. Lots of fun.
