Yes. But Zeitgeist ignores the fact that there is still a large number of site that infact work well with many browesers, but direct you to a error-page if your browser doers not *claim* to be IE on MS-Windows.

Thus Konqueror, Firebird, Opera and even freaking *Lynx* comes with options to "Identify as IE". Many change to this, simply because it works better in a world with too many clueless "webdesigners".
