I wish IE had been $20 like all the other browsers.
It would still have won because it displays pages better and more complete/closer to HTML specs than any other browser.
I do have complaints about IE, but it's the browser I have had the least trouble with. Unfortunately, there is no way to get IE running smoothly on Windows 98/ME.
After using XP for about 40 hours now, I am almost violently promoting the Windows 2000/IE6 platform.
