    There's no real innovation happening in Mozilla at the feature level. It may have the best object oriented programming but it's slow and has no more features than Netscape did before Microsoft killed it. So few people use anything but IE and so much of the multimedia on Linux is just Windows binaries emulated in Wine, it's easier just to run a real copy of windows and IE.
