To make a long story short, Tim Berners Lee created the Web and things were portable and good. Netscape made an OK browser that ran on just about anything that had a network connection. MS came along and screwed up the web while others started with new browsers and standards were published and coded towards. MS is nolonger the standard anymore, I can almost 100% of the time view any website on just about any browser. So, we are almost back where we started. The scenic detour made the cab driver rich, but we are almost happily back home.
