Market dominance + deliberate incompatibilities. Refer it to the judge?
Of course you could build a work around and redirect Macs to a different
sequence. Send the bill to Redmond. Many sites won't bother. Pretty
soon the users will give up too and retire the Mac because Windows is
more "compatible".
Which puts me in the very awkward position of wondering if I need to
buy a Mac just to put Exploder on. I hate to waste an IP address on
something so, umm, conceptually flawed.
