Theory: The web is based on standards, anyone with a browser can play.
Fact: Most webmasters would like to have to deal with (1) OS and (1) browser. Most want whiz bang features. Most consumers don't care as long as their computer can run all of the whiz bang plugins. This all works in M$'s favor.
We need to make sure that Linux has enough of a desktop presence so that it is in the webmaster's best interest to make their site Linux/Netscape compatible. We need to give LOTS of feedback to the sites that do not support standards and/or Linux users.
Linux is my desktop of choice, but I don't care to be a 2nd class web citizen.
