"I can completely relate to what Stephen is asking for. It's far simpler than the problems a persistence technology like Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Gears is trying to tackle. But ultimately, thanks in part to Gears and similar technologies from Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE), Apache, Oracle, and Sun, we know more is possible. So, why accept less?" - because it's likely to arrive far more quickly ;)

KOKOGIAK - Current Browser Usage for Boston.com

"IE still rules. As of January, 2008, IE7 and IE6 each have a 34% share of our users (with IE7 barely ahead)...IE usage is still well over 70% (even though it's down from 76% one year ago). Firefox 2.0 jumped from 6.63% in Jan 2007 to 20.21% in Jan 2008."
