Exactly. We as Cocooners see that, for example, in the infamous IE/PDF bug
(see FAQ). It happens, because IE ignores parts of the HTTP standards in
favor of a self-invented technique, that (according to MS) works better
for Windows users. They are perverting the Internet to protect their
platform.

There is no consolation, it's too late. Microsoft is well on its way to
sabotage the Internet by ignoring standards. The only thing we can do is
stop using their products. Sorry for sounding religious, but with the
latest smart tags controversy I am beginning to get very angry at MS.

Use any browser that supports standards. Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera come to
mind. I'm using Netscape 4.* and will switch to Mozilla, once it's out the
door.
