Hope the EU keeps up the pressure to help make sure the web keeps open and not be turned into what is sometimes happening with IE. A programmer at the company I work with send me the following message after I complained that the web site only worked with IE and some of the functionality only when running IE with Windows and it really irritated me stating that I should switch to Windows to use what was called a web funtion/program:
" The simple fact is that the browsers are similar, but far from identical. Most people now believe that the browser wars are over and that Microsoft won. If you subscribe to that theory, then using Internet Explorer will make your life easier. If not, then it will be an upstream swim....If there is anything I can do I will offer my assistance; there is an easy out, however: just join the dark side, Luke."
