[Sigia-l] Web apps without IE?

[Dave]

The stats are the same as the ones listed in the ZDnet article. I
think other analysts have made a bigger deal about the first dip ever,
no matter what percent decrease than others.

Personally, I think there are signs that the MS hold on the browser is
changing. The fact that MacOS for example does not come w/ IE is
changing the ways that companies have to think about IE only sites
from the past. Also, more and more people are realizing that using
Gecko based (and other non IE browsers) will reduce the risk of
spy/ad-ware is a huge thing.

Is this mainstream? by no means, but there is a bubbling occurring in
the media about it and as this bubble becomes bigger (i.e. the
Circuits column of the NY Times recently had something) it will start
to become a bigger issue.
