as long as they have a feature to disable IDN support as well, and bring the browser up to standards..maybe then css layouts will get an even bigger boost woo

Microsoft IE has to face a great competition from Mozilla-Firefox.

I think it's the other way round. I use Firefox myself, but its still in the minority. IE as a brand is huge.

And Firefox already has IDN Support (I know they have temporarily taken it out).

But for IDNs to really take off, we have been waiting for support in IE, the biggest browser.

My point is: the majority of internet users use IE. Firefox is gaining market share but is still a minority by a big margin. Microsoft will surely use their muscle and all their advantage to convert IE6 users to IE7. I don't care about any lawsuits, court judgements or rulings, you know this will happen!

So from our point of view, this has implications for all of us, because most users will migrate to IE7.

So regardless of my or our personal preferences, we should take IE7 into account.

And that is why with the rumoured IDN support (I thought I would have to wait for Longhorn for that), I am today a very happy man, sitting on a nice bounty of IDN names.

Right, there still will be the majority of internet users using IE7 (for now), but unless Microsoft adds all the features of Firefox to their own browser, Firefox will remain the more flexible and extensible browser.

Two words for Microsoft: Give up. IE will NEVER measure up to FireFox. I mean, AOL, one of the internet's least trusted companies, is developing a browser that will probably end up being better than IE. They seriously NEED to give up on Internet Explorer or actually put some effort into creating it.

Its just a way to gain interest for IE.

I'm trying to be all Firefox, as IE just screwed me over WAY too many times!
