“…the battle between the two companies wasn’t just about dramatic improvements in browser software. The war was also important because it mirrored the way the Internet changed from a warm, friendly community to a cut-throat world in which only the strong survive and prosper. ”

    What features have come along since ’99? Improved standards compliance, but if everybody develops for IE, there’s not much point.
