Microsoft was late to the internet, and had to chase Netscape. They came out with IE, and extended the html with special features—they were enticing features, but of course if you use them, only user with IE can use your site correctly.

To be fair the internet was new and standards were loose then so most everyone was doing non-standard stuff trying to own the market (hoping they would gain enough share that their extension of the language would become part of the standard), including netscape such as their god awful layer tag - I tired of dealing with such and I eventually stopped supporting netscape altogether. Which turned out to be a wise choice looking back.
