,----[ Quote ]
| Way back in 1995 Windows decided to make this glorious application
| called Internet Explorer. Of course this was the biggest abuse of a
| GUI since Louie Anderson made his own Windows theme (its a joke, ok).
| Back then however, you dident really have a choice as to whether or
| not you used IE. It was the only web browser a geek could get.

forcefeeding and disregard for standards (also proprietary 'extensions'),
which helped it sustain some market share.
