[dba-Tech] The fate of IE

Microsoft's IE is still doing well in the percentage of use by users. 

After all, it comes automatically on every Windows computer and given many
users laziness or just fear of trying anything new, may be the only thing
that is saving it. 

What has changed is that it has finally become clear that most web
developers have abandoned doing work on the browser. It has just become too
expensive. According to the attached article, only about 16 percent of
developers are now actively supporting the IE product line.

If this trend continues, eventually, whether the basic Windows consumer
wishes it or not, they will find themselves having to move to other browsers
if they wish to enjoy any of the modern content delivery applications.

For me as a web developer, either the re-developement of IE, to industry
standards or IE's demise, couldn't happen soon enough.
