Just look at Nutscrape for example, version 2.02 was fantastic, it showed just how naff IE3 was.
People wouldn't dream of using anything other than Nutscrape, it was the canine's testicles.
To not download Nutscrape was crazy.
Then they went mad and started trying to make it look all pretty and forgot that functionality and speed were the important factors.
IE powered ahead, and not because of Active X or anything else that IE can cope with that other browsers can't, it's because the benifits gleaned from downloading and installing any other browser just are not worth it.
