» According to recent reports in the tech press, Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser recently dropped to below 60 percent in market share, down from a high of 95 percent back in 2003. For many reasons, this is excellent news. But another report, on the other hand, demonstrates that Microsoft has not given up on its bag of tricks, the sort of tricks that helped Internet Explorer supposedly ''win'' the browser war in the first place.
