I don't use IE because it's "forced" on me... I use it because I prefer it. Using Windows doesn't prevent me from using another browser - in fact, I do use others, but only to check compatibility.

Microsoft didn't add any great new technologies, they corrupted what was there, Java, Java Script, HTML, and distributed it starting with Windows 98 as default, integrated into the OS. When I ran Windows 95, I ran netscape. In Windows98, it didn't seem feasible to the people who owned the PC to download another browser, when IE was so integrated and big.

Debatable... I was originally a Netscape user... I didn't stop using Netscape because IE was forced on me... I stopped using it because somewhere around v4.x it became a piece of garbage...

there would be no compatibility issue for your standard internet browsing.

I don't know about that... we'd have to rid the world of AOL for a start...
