as matt edwards pointed out IE's only the first - they'll go after
opera, mozilla, etc. soon enough.

there'll be new business alright, but its going to involve whatever new
method M$, macromedia and the W3C.

what this may do - although probably not - is remind redmond that having
a monopoly means you're the first one in the firing line, and considerng
the fun n frolics tey're having with burst.com it may be that M$ will be
having a bad few months.
