Hi all,

I'd like to add my voice in agreement.

Every time I visit a website that tells me, "This website is best viewed
in..." or "This website requires someKindOfPlugIn...", my reaction is, "OK,
if you're more interested in creating the latest 'wiz-bang effect' than
providing a consistent experience for visitors using different browsers,
I'm not going to waste my time at your website."

The goal of html, xml, and other industry standards is to allow creation of
documents that can be viewed indetically across browsers & across
platforms.  The fact that Microsoft's attitude is "standards...what
standards?  We're so big whatever we do sets the standard." really irks me.
