  5. Firefox market share will increase even more! by praseodym · · Score: 1 · on MS Urging Developers To Prep For IE 7

    Say 7.0 is standards compliant and every XP user will upgrade to 7.0, thus 90% of IE users use 7.0. Most webdevs will stop supporting IE 6.0, as it's not worth supporting that few per cent (because it is a lot of work). Then 98/ME/2000 (I think) users will be doomed because they can't view those sites. They blame the browser and download something better. Then IE's market share will decrease - and Firefox's will increase even more!

  21. So...proprietary RSS? by EchoMirage · · Score: 3, Insightful · on Newspapers To Offer Their Own News Aggregators

    What the article doesn't make clear is whether or not this means that any of these three publications will make plain-vanilla RSS readily available. If they will, they'll have a hard time convincing people to use their own branded software. If not (e.g. if their RSS feeds are somewhat proprietary), they're shooting themselves in the foot. RSS is an established, working standard. The main complaint of many content providers over RSS is that it's not quite as ad-friendly as regular HTML content (this is a feature, not a bug, if you're a reader).

    The Denver Post hasn't had an RSS feed all this time; if they finally post one, I might start reading them more regularly. If, on the other hand, I have to use their proprietary software for their proprietary RSS feed (which almost certainly will be a Windows 2K/XP only application), they'll see my readership decline 100%.

    Better idea for content providers: give your readers Firefox and Sage to read your feeds. You'll be giving them a great RSS feeder and be doing them a favor by also providing them with a secure, standards-compliant web browser.

    What we need is for a high-traffic site (ex. Google, Ebay, Yahoo, etc) to make it so their page will not load completely in browsers that do not meet standards like these. I'm thinking a page that says "Your browser (Internet Explorer) is not XYZ compliant. Please upgrade to a browser that follows accepted standards, like firefox, opera, etc" with a link that would take you to the page anyway.

    I know that this would take a lot of balls on that company's part but action like this is the only thing that Microsoft is going to understand. The first big site to do it would lose some amount of visitors but it would also generate more non-IE users and pressure on MS to follow standards. Eventually MS would wise up and comply as the amount of people switching away from IE becomes too large to ignore. The end result is that either IE will be made compliant or it will lose some of its dominant market share, both good things.
