To be honest I doubt that as long as we have Windows as the dominant operating system there will be another dominant browser apart from IE. Microsoft is pretty good at keeping the markets they've conquerred. They blew it initially with MSN on Windows 95. They wanted to take over the Internet the wrong way, redefine it (i.e. use the Word Viewer strategy). But then the secont approach was correct - comply, extend upon, take ownership.
As I said they can afford to have the best browser around as it is Windows that's at stake. To keep the user base locked in the Windows world they sure need IE with ActiveX that will simply not work on Linux. There... I said that. LINUX!
