Can I depend on the title attribute displayed as a tooltip?

Question

We programmed simple tips on our website for a while and just realized that we could do the same thing just by using the title attribute. Any reason we shouldn't use the title attribute as a tooltip? Are there any browsers that do not support this feature? ( w3schools seems to indicate that all major browsers support this.)
