It sure will
But not for your reasons. It will show the world how bad Safari is in comparison. Safari is nothing but KHTML code pulled from unstable KDE. I never liked Konqueror for its flakiness compared to Nautilus on Gnome. I tried Konqueror on a few distros including Kubuntu and it is awful. Always ran Mozilla on linux and a lot of Apple users prefer the Mozilla over Safari. I also prefer Mozilla over Nautilus also. IE too for the plugins. It isn't going to go anywhere on the PC and will probably be used as a compliance tester like Amaya so that web pages will display properly. John Lilly has nothing to worry about with this aberration.

By the way Donnieboy, you don't like competition. You just hate Microsoft. If you really did, you wouldn't care about what MS did and use your favorite programs. Another thing, the consumer decides the standard. Not MS or some committee or standards body. No sense in dictating the standard and the consumer flat out rejects it. It is MS is better at what the consumer likes than the competition. They can market, you can't. And before you say anything else, there is choice.
