The Australian online retailer Kogan.com has introduced the world's first "tax" on Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) browser.

Customers who use IE7 will have to pay an extra surcharge on online purchases made through the firm's site.

I just use Mozilla / Firefox, a much better browser to begin with...

I'm betting he'll be hearing from MS.
Even if he's just a little dude I'm betting that they will not want to set a legal precedent.
I can hear the black helicopters already.

I like this! Who uses IE nowadays...there should be a surcharge for sure.... juts for stupidity...there are so many better browsers out there!

I work in IT doing government contracts.
We are almost 100% IE.
We have to maintain browser compatibility but the audience technically should be 100% IE.
Typically government workers are precluded from installing other browsers.
Sad but true.

Chrome all the way Dudes. Swallow the Google cool-aid, it's not half bad.

Opera by choice, (though I am moving towards Firefox now) but my work PC has as many as I can find including safari, the joys of being a developer.

Nothing to be ashamed of; Google just announced that it now owns the planet.
