Yes I totally agree with you JosephM. The reason why there are a paltry number of games for the mac and linux is because Microsoft bribes game developers to use Direct X instead of Open GL. Even the games that are on the mac are not as good as they can be. Companies like Aspyr and Macsoft use Direct X converters to transform PC games to the mac. However these converters don’t have any optimization, which makes the game on mac worse than on a Wintel machine with the same specs.
Anyways
IE 6 for Wintel has 90% of the market share browser, so hackers definitely will find all of its weaknesses.
If some people change browsers it would defuse the amount of people using one browser, and decreasing the risk of security violations.
Also it would be a plus for the open source community which has trying to get developers not to code just for IE.
