At the time they both came into being there weren't many users, so the discussion is almost moot.

The rule of thumb I learned years ago was that the .htm ending was coming from a PC computer environment with the Windows OS and the .html extension was in the Apple/Mac environment with the different operating system.

VISTA may be what finally pushes me over to becoming a Mac user. They do have kind of cute machines and monitors. It would be a fashion statement at the very least. :)
