Ouch! 'Users are smart enough to choose their own browser'??
Most users couldn't spell 'browser' without help. The only reason so many people use IE is because it is built-in to the operating system that was on the PC they bought, and no other reason. Since 1995 nobody has once asked me for a different browser to IE, it wouldn't even cross there minds that its possible.
Im not for/against IE, and i've only just started using FIREFOX as well as IE.
People get very defensive over these things. Just enjoy the technology! U cud b livin in a cave instead ;)
