Two major improvements above IE:
1) Tabbed Browsing, very comfortable
2) Better ability to customize Java Script, i.e. no more nasty pop-ups without third-party software like webwasher & co. (just use IE, and you'll see that pop-ups are the pestilence of the www today...)
Most of the mainstream music today is just plain crap! Over here in Germany we get flooded with "clone" bands (like Bro'Sis, No Angels, etc.) who often cover older songs, and most of them are pure shit compared to the originals. And their non-covered songs are even worse! Worst of all: This crap is constantly played on the radio all day, leaving little room for good music. So why should the music industry think that everybody is willing to buy such bad, bad rehashes of good old songs or to pay money for torturing one's ears with strange noise made by some replaceable puppets, who obviously can't sing and who don't deserve to be called 'musicians' - i'd call them 'money whores', 'cause it's all about the money, not about good music anymore. So as long as the music industry keeps producing such a crap and thinks that it can take its customers for a ride, it's only reasonable if their sales go down, maybe they have to learn it the hard way...
This page is in pure handwritten HTML which can be easily displayed correctly by any browser (though it's in German, sorry...) - i once used M$ Frontpage (shame on me), but after i had tried to get it rendered in Mozilla, i screwed the entire Frontpage crap and started over again from scratch. In my opinion no one really needs those sometimes annoying Flash sites - just plain graphical overkill. Good ol' plain HTML should be sufficient for most private homepages (like mine, i'm not speaking of commercial ones) - faster loading times as an added bonus:-) Just my personal opinion...
