Seems to me that the problem is that that 1 guy (as you say) is not willing
to abandon a tool that obviously doesn't work (NS). I grant that it may hurt
to embraced M$, but the fact is that IE simply IS better than NS.
NS lost it when they decided to flaunt the standard and M$ saw that
by supporting the standard they would get a leg up on NS.
