Et quelle surprise! You didn't provide any.

You ask for examples of other "successful linux transitions" and I provide them. You respond by admitting that yes, they do exist.
No, no, I kid! That's what an *honest* debater would do. *You* respond quelle surprise.
Funny, most trolls talk about websites that don't work with Firefox. You managed to find one that sorta had problems - the popup blocking feature worked, as designed, to block popups. You happened to actually want that popup, but didn't choose to allow it for some unspecified reason.
There are websites that, say, specifically check for IE and refuse to try to work with other browsers. (There's a User Agent Switcher addon to deal with this, BTW.) But as Firefox increases in popularity, such practices are going the way of the dodo very quickly.
See Ghost's response about "cost effective".
It also took out NetBEUI (yeah, that did have some effect on Windows), Appletalk, LANtastic, DECnet, and of course OSI.
How interesting, you've provided close to the content of the memo - adjusting to the Internet was required. As Gates...
