Comment MS has no war.. (Score 0) 409
Microsoft really does seem profits from IE. It see profits from its technologies (ActiveX,Windows Server, etc) and from people developing websites for IE using FrontPage. Those developers could care less about W3C standards, so as far as MS is concerned they have won the war for now.
There is no reason that MS needs to release a new version of IE anytime soon. Those who use it use it becuase they like it, or don't know any better and probably will always use it.
Yes, MS will have to convince those on the fence that they can deliver security updates quickly, but that is all they really need to do for now.
Firefox/Mozilla needs to keep doing what it is doing - produce a standard compliant browser with some nifty features and it will have its fans.
