It’s not that Safari is the new IE, it’s that iOS is the new Windows. IE6 was genuinely a very innovative browser.
Replying to @tomdale
But the lack of competition slowed down the whole platform — same as the WebKit lock-in is hurting on iOS, well beyond iOS.
Replying to @tomdale
Why MSFT got punished (and is *still* paying) for being far less anticompetitive than Apple is with iOS is IMHO the issue.

It is certainly a tribute to the quality of Apple’s lobbying in Brussels, or the incompetence of the Competition Directorate.
