yes, IE does hold the majority of web surfers. go figure, based on above.
everything displays correctly in IE, because, due to uneducated users continuing to use bundled software, web designers have to make provisions so IE wont barf.
i wont use IE on principle, because of this. the majority just doesnt care, as with everything else in the world.

Yes the world is a bad place because MS gave away free IE. You should listen to yourself, it sounds rediculous to make such a point over a internet browers; but more then likely you are using a MS opperating system or MS software. So much for your principles.
As for dumb consumers. There has always been choice for surfers to choose something other then an MS product, however just because they hold the market share does not mean they have 'tricked' 'fool' or 'forced' them to use MS product. The great thing about a free market is just that, you have choice. If more people are choosing MS products over other products there is a reason; beyond your redicilous notions. It's just business, its no personal and as such should be viewed like business.
Side note - I have found those who strive to be different end up being the same, just in a different group of people. If you define yourself as different because of the software you use; get out of the house more. There is more to life then bits and bytes.
