Also, as a followup to this, we have enforced Firefox as the supported browser platform for our clients. We have spent a lot of time (== money) educating them that some sites will not work, and that this is a fault with the site, not firefox. This alone has had two benefits. 1. People now realise a little bit of what "we" know - that MS has had a bad effect on the web, as an implementation of a set of standards. 2. They know to contact the site, and advise the broken features. This feeds back to the developers that their audience is not one broken browser anymore. Note that we have NOT removed IE, as sometimes those sites need to be accessed, bad or not. We have had a small measure of success getting developers to modify their site design. So, baby steps. G.
