I don't think so. Things that IE can do that Mozilla cannot:
- run viruses
- allow remote users to gain access to your system (some
versions)
- crash windows
In any case, the problem really is that some sites have code like this:
if(navigator.appName != MSIE) alert("your browser won't work with this site");
(well, not exactly, but you get the picture)
We need to convert these sites to remove this code.
Actually..any website development project starts off with a brief about which browsers they want to support. As of now, to save costs and time and to hide ignorance about standards and other browsers, most project leaders take the easy way out and "standardise' on IE. This way the developers dont need to work much, since only IE compatibility has to be tested, the client gets his site up faster, and everyone's happy..
