And that happens quite a bit in computers. Same thing has happened between IE and netscape... both have their pros and cons (respectively [img]tongue.gif[/img] ); both have tags which only they support.
There is now a push for standardisation with browsers (the World Wide Web Consortium), and so if there isnt one for Operating systems then there will be soon.
