And then they keep wondering why ie's market share is dropping like a rock.
So much double-think.
The rest don't know or care.
As technology experts on here, we tend to forget that the layperson doesn't generally know or care.
And for another too: the large proportion of people who have no idea what either an OS or a browser is.
It's a mistake to imagine that everyone (and perhaps even a majority) either understands or has control of their computing.
The people you hear 'whinging' are people trying to build websites without having to add 50-100% to their dev time fixing IE-specific problems. Or unable to use features that other browsers have supported for years because half their target market is on a browser without any form of auto-update and a glacial release cycle.
I personally don't give a monkey's spleen what OS people run because the platform I am developing for is the web browser.
