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!

you might want to follow some of the discussions on the CSS groups then. Even though CSS is a defined standard, Microsoft's interpretation of the standard is often at odds with the document that they helped author.

So, even if you use Compliant HTML and CSS, because of the way IE 6 renders the CSS, you still get two separate results.

So, can you convince Microsoft to follow the RFC that they coauthored? If so, it would make a lot of web designer's lives easier.

That is true, I was thinking more of fatal html errors in mozilla that IE would forgive.
