Well much of the problem seems to start with the fact that IE is much 
more accepting of badly codeds sites, not to mention maliciously 
coded.  Then, IE doens't follow all the WC3 (someithing like that) 
standards.  So, standards compliant browsers, Mozilla (i.e. Camino, 
Firefox), KHTML(i.e. Safari) tend to choke on the IE sites that are 
rather sloppy with their coding.   Then there is the usual Microsoft 
attempt to make their software exclusive, or at least so stuff only 
works for them, and that would account for the rest.  But, then again 
"why attribute to malevolence what can be explained by incompetence."
