I agree that we need more standard compliant browsers, but that’s besides the point. People are used to IE, and have been for several years – because it works for them. Because most sites make sure to have it work correctly in IE (who would just ditch a 70% marketshare browser?) – even though they don’t respect any RFC’s.

I’d love to see more people use FireFox or Chrome, but I doubt it will happen soon.

I do not agree with you. I think that adding more standards compliant browsers to the playing field is good for everyone. I think that there are a lot of people who are too scared to download a browser (god knows why) but if there is a new icon on their desktop labeled ‘Internet’ then people will start using it.

This will only affect people who don’t know about browsers or never thought about changing it or who have no interest in changing it.
