[plug] OT: Sites bow to Microsoft's browser king

[Jacqueline McNally]

"What we're seeing with Web sites that are viewable only with IE is the 
privatization of the Web," said Mozilla's Baker. "And that's a dangerous 
setting. We're moving toward a world where all the capabilities of the 
Internet are reprocessed through a single filter, with Microsoft's business 
plan behind it."

For any of you AnyBrowser people out there, some web developers from 
evolt.org have formed at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vkit/ to develop a 
kit to promote standards compliant code to clients, managers, and business 
owners. It is a positive step, but a daunting task for just over 90 people. 
If you use regularly use browsers other than IE, I'm sure they would 
welcome some testers, or skills from the Linux community.

All the best

she wants)
