Government asks is IE-only OK ?

I got a kick out of a CNet news article titled U.S. Copyright Office poll: IE-only OK?. It made me grin cause the DOJ goes after Microsoft on charges of being a monopoly which has dragged on for years, and other branches of the government are requiring you to use it. Of course the Copyright Office does note it plans to support other browsers in the future but the planned upgrade to Siebel7.8 will not be in time for the launch. Funny that Sieble7.8 has no plans to support Opera or Safari so non-mainstream users will be out in the cold.

Maybe since they are going to support Firefox it means other browsers that use the same engine will work ? Who knows… I’m sure at some point a PC statement will come out that admits they were right and wrong.

This also made it to Groklaw, the thread is here, so you know the open source world is buzzing.
