That, again, depends on what browser they are using and what that browser's defaults are. Hopefully not every browser manufacturer is so sick to use purple as the default for visited links ;-)
To my knowledge, they are. Netscape, IE, and Mozilla have always been this way. If I remember correctly, Opera is the same way.
The standard link is blue, the standard visited link is purple.
I'm not saying, by the way, that we should stick to this. I've never complained too loudly about the changes that we've made already. But I do fear, sometimes, that we forget that most people don't use the web the way we do.
(Well, except for me. I have the technical skills to change my browser settings, I just don't.)
