Have Microsoft won the HTML standards war?

No, there was a browser war but never a HTML standards one.
The html standards are spelled out in plain english - see http://www.w3.org/ .

Neither IE or Netscape were ever good at sticking to the standards. Firefox is much more complient.

Does it matter when the
software is "free"?

Yes it does (matter). I should be free to use whatever browser on whatever platform or device I choose to access any website - that's why we have standards. Internet Explorer is not free, it's part of a commercial operating system.
