I don't agree with that... I think a lot of firefox users are just computer savvy surfers trying to tame the nasty surfing experience you get with IE. I'm sure some of them would still spend money if you present them with an enticing enough offer - but of course those juicy dumbass surfers (the ones you really want, the newbies) would still be using IE, so the shrinking IE segment will become more and more valuable.

I don't see why people can't just handle writing compliant html anyway... the whole point of writing to a standard is that everyone can see it!
