Look at how Internet Explorer was neglected for 5 years. No financial
incentive. The Web was forced to reach a halt (development freeze) while
Opera had the next generation of browsers properly implemented. If only it

took a lot for Mozilla (Firefox) to gain steam. But it's well past the cusp
of adoption now.
