"It is illegal to leverage the momopoloy to get into new markets though."

I believe that's what I just said. Though not in those words.

"As you mentioned they are extentions, you don't have to use them."

True enough. But if there is an open standard way of doing something, and only the proprietary way of doing it is listed as an option, then what's a novice web page builder to do? Anyway I think that except for MS's web site, pretty much the only sites that use IE-only extensions are novice sites anyway. But there are enough of those around to make a difference.

"As far as ethics goes, Larry Ellison rummaging through MS's garbage I think shows that their simply any left."

Trust me. You won't catch me defending him either.

"Apologies if my posting methodology offends the sensibilities.
I hope you don't think it unethical"

Not at all. I enjoy the discussion.
