Wouldn't it just be nice if Microsoft would just embrace Webkit and then extend it? :P

Kinda a shame that went down how it did... Microsofts JVM and base library was fast compared to the crap from Sun. On the plus side, we ended up with .NET and C# :)

Exactly.

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

Same goes for the web standards and how IE was used to destroy the web for so long.
