[![Slide 04](s/04.jpg)](#04) What The Market Share Means? ---------------------------- * Worldwide * Support of Web standard -- Support of various OSes and systems -- Increase of conforming websites * Era of Web 2.0 * Keeping the rights of choice, increasing accessibility * Creation of new market * Korea * Ignorance of Web standard, excessive use of ActiveX -- No support of non-IE browsers * Vendor lock-in * Browser monopoly makes OS monopoly * No chance to create new market * Intangible restriction on industries outside IE
