I will agree with ytou there Swordmaker, Microsoft is the lagging company of browsers, and they do seem to want to be the most non compliant. That I will say I hate, but on the other hand that brings me to how Apple is basically proprietary for the most part and we won’t open that old can of worms here.
For what it's worth, I don't use Safari unless forced to, just as I don't use IE unless forced to. Firefox runs on my Linux, Windows, and Mac boxes, and I like portability and commonality because it makes me have to fight with it less, my bookmarks file moves from machine to machine without hassle, etc. etc.
