How Internet Explorer may have hidden costs
Not everybody will agree with its premise, but a ZDNet blog by Paul Murphy called IE chauvinism creates hidden costs is worth a look. The point is that some commercial sites and government sites will only work with IE. This is because Microsoft does not abide by the World Wide Web Consortium standards and has features and quirks that other browsers do not support. The question that I have is why Microsoft gets to set the standards and ignore a consortium of everybody else? Actually, I know the answer- it’s called the power of monopoly.
