RE: IE7 on the way with something called "standards" in mind

I don't really think anything IE7 might do is going to slow their market erosion anytime soon. Standards support is a huge deal for people like us, but for your Mom or even for Joe Helpdesk, the advantages of Firefox come more from not getting pwned every week.

Really, though, good standards support ironically, may actually help erode IE's market share. I mean, if I know KHTML will work as well as MSIE on the whole web, I get even less likely to care about IE. Avalon might be a real threat in extending the MS-dominance, but every time Longhorn gets pushed out again, that becomes less and less likely.
