Story: Microsoft says Firefox 'not a threat to IE'
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 12 November 2004, 4:22 PM)
Market share for IE should not be a concern for MS as they don't sell it. It's one of those "free' features in Windows. If it generated revenues then it might be a concern.
As for web sites opening up to other products, I switched to Safari 2 years and most sites worked fine. Those that didn't (banks and retirement accounts) have now joined the fold. They've learned that IE is not the only thing out there and they need to work with Safari and Firefox to accommodate customers who use them.
