Browser Wars: Episode II
Talkback I'm not sure why the author says Firefox would be attacked more once it passes the (random) 20% mark. Keep in mind - for example - that Apache servers power about 2/3 of the world's WWW sites while Windows servers about 1/3.

Talkback You'd think that this was a prima-facie case that Microsoft will either react with its corporate might or resign its browser to the recycle bin. There's no compelling evidence to say that these developers won't sell out to Microsoft in the long-run.

The Browser Wars Are Back, According To Netscape's Founder
Talkback instead of new features, we need a browser that conforms to standards. New features? Crap! New features will just mean more proprietary crap that only IE will render. By the way, how is Safari a "punch" to Redmond.
