The problem is that this isn't some little application. There are 750 MILLION users of IE. Each user will have paid somewhere between $20 and $200 for the privalege of using their bundled browser - and Microsoft is rich! beyond the dreams of avarice.

Is it wrong for us to expect a little quality in IE? Especially considering the number of users, it's importance as an app, and the amount of cash MS has?

I was listening to BBC Radio 1, and they had a news item about it this morning. But I think GP is right - I can't imagine it will make many users switch. However, as more and more people within the technical community become jaded with the consistent poor quality in Microsoft's offerings, MS will inevitably loose mind-share, and hence their strangle hold on the industry will loosen.

It's this sort of thing that made me switch over to Linux a year ago. I haven't looked back.
