Well, they control the majority but I don't know if it's that high :).

There's a problem, though.  What about licensing?

For older versions of IE, this may not be a problem.  But newer versions
of IE may lock out usage with Free Software.  This seems to be a
possible direction that MS is headed in.  

I mean, this could be a problem outright, but there's fewer legal ways
around this if that event comes up.
