There is a ' Most Published Users for *' section. We hope to have a karma system at some point which would be even better.

Why Microsoft Will Win, and Dominate the Web.
I hope and expect that they won't dominate the web. We are just starting to recover from the mess that IE has made with the web.
"Looking at the landscape today, you see a world that has 98% of the machines that access the Internet Windows (Microsoft) based. " "Web Sites also work better on Windows." Delusional. The problem with IE has been the strategic non support of standards - MS tried to lock in web sites to IE and the windows platform and they were quite successful. When I am working on web UIs much of my day is spent working around IEs broken support for standards. I think silverlight is a nice product and it may do well in against Flash in the niche area of embedded applications, but it is not going to take over the web. Standards based web browsers will be the platform for the next 10 years in my opinion.
Being HST and ISA compliant have nothing to do with web development whatsoever. Neither do election tallying methods. We use standards in development all the time, they are supported so universally in fact that we take them for granted. IPv4, TCP, UDP, HTTP, DNS, FTP, POP, SMTP, IMAP, TELNET, LDAP, WS-*, Kerberos, RSS, Atom, OpenID, ECMA C#.... the list goes on. None of what we do today would be possible without support for these in all the different stacks that we deploy our applications on. Silverlight is great. I just don't think that it is going to allow MS to dominate the web.
