let say that being in the market I can confirm things are slowly moving toward takeovers (which are way worse imho than a popdown)..

personally it also depends on contents.. a nice gaming popup is way more tollerable than a YOU ARE 2423423th visitors to this site!

Anyway, if I.E. included popup blockers, what last of the popup industry will simply move to sticky dhtml (or find a workaround... which would not be a novelty for microsoft code...)
