Kiss the Internet, as we know it, goodbye...

Maybe that's a strong statement, but evidence is growing that a certain software company is trying to dominate the web:

MSN.com shuts out non-Microsoft browsers - CNET.com

The sad thing is, they state that the whole issue is support of the W3C XHMTL standard. Since when do we block browsers that don't support a selected standard? Hmmm...interesting concept. That would certainly make life easier for web designers if we could just simply say "use browser X or you don't get to use this site!"
