Hey, I'll fess up...
Yes the .01% was a bogus number meant to indicate that IE is far and away prefered by the majority of users.

Running Mozilla we simply ran into many sites that didn't render properly. In some cases we found we could not download files. (Still not certain why.)

And yes, at this point, SP2 seems to have addressed the security problems so as it does a better job of rendering sites, it's the automatic winner in my mind. Your mileage may vary. LOL

.01 % = significant gains?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
Where'd you get that number?  Michael Kelly | 09/15/04
I believe he read it on ZDNet  bidemytime | 09/15/04
Pulled it out of my backside, just like everyone else.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
Thanks for the honesty  Michael Kelly | 09/15/04
Hey, I'll fess up...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
Poor word choice  tic swayback | 09/15/04
They "prefer" to not bother with it.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
I'd use the word "ignorant" rather than "prefer"  tic swayback | 09/15/04
I guess, that's why  michael-t | 09/15/04
Actually, I was doing my open source supporter imitation.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
Ya never know..  Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04
Is that another of your childish threats?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Buwahahaha  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Your ignorance is amazing!  FreeBSD | 09/15/04
No, your coice is not mine. That doesn't make you ignorant.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
IE doesn't suck, just lacks  voska | 09/15/04
And..  FreeBSD | 09/15/04
Never said they were intelligent. LOL(NT)  voska | 09/15/04
RE:.01 % = significant gains?  Msche2000 | 09/15/04

Funny I found the opposite  voska | 09/15/04
The site renders fine in FireFox  coffeenite | 09/16/04
Microsoft's response will be?  Nigel Johnstone | 09/15/04
Their responce, a good chukle and back to work.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
I guess that's why IE sucks so bad nowadays  Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04
Yup, 95% of the population has it wrong..  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
Hey, most of the country thinks arabs bombed the world trade center..  Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04
And the little green men are coming for you too.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

how many of those 95%...  ryusen | 09/15/04
Are you saying..  zazu56@... | 09/17/04
IE has not been upgraded in 3 years, such that it is the chokepoint.  B.O.F.H. | 09/15/04
I guess that's why IE sucks so bad nowadays  CodeBubba | 09/16/04
Please keep using IE  debbieL_z | 09/16/04
Obviously . . .  xero11 | 09/15/04
More obvious, bells and whistles don't matter.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04
Clearly that's their reasoning  tic swayback | 09/15/04
No one's against bells and whistles  voska | 09/15/04
Personally, I'd rather it all be bolted..  d_jedi | 09/15/04

thing about bells and whistles...  ryusen | 09/15/04
Obviously...  CodeBubba | 09/16/04

63% vs. 1%  Linux_Developer | 09/15/04
