The cost of distribution is more than the $20 shipping fee.
You must change your web site to use IE specific features, issue
press releases aligning youself with Microsofts internet strategy,
install it on all the machines on your site and more.....

I still prefer IE's mail & news over Netscape and think ActiveX
beats Java anyday in producing something actually *useful*.

If they didn't force you to sell your soul, everything would be okay :).
