There’s a lot of good in Microsoft’s decision to make the text in IE 5 bigger. Guess which browser most designers choose, if they’re forced to pick one? The most popular browser for the most popular operating system - and that means Internet Explorer for Windows.ěut There’s a Catch
The people who design Web pages often are forced to choose one particular browser to target, and then sometimes will try to make their pages work in other browsers, even if the results are less than optimal. Since each Web browser has its own way of interpreting HTML, each one draws pages differently.
It’s smart for Microsoft to try and make IE 5 behave more like its Windows counterpart.
