One of my major beefs with MSFT. They take a standard and "improve" it to the point that it only works best with other MSFT products.

You should not have to design a site that works best with a particular browser.

That's why the W3C set standards that every other browser adheres to.

Hopefully won't last long. On the sites that I manage I see roughly 85% IE and the rest FireFox and others.

However, one of my gaming clients is getting 50% Firefox and 43% IE traffic.

That's gotta scare the crap out of MSFT. If I'm seeing that then the xBox site has got to be seeing something close to it as well.

It's important since gamers are considered pretty knowledgable and are generally the families "trusted advisor". They are the person that friends and family turn to for help with their PC needs.

Marketers are all going after the trusted advisor. The general public is apathetic about PC technology, they don't want to know the details. They just want a box to do their stuff with.
