And perhaps even a future for this dying monopoly:
"I’m sorry Microsoft took an apparent vacation for a few years. Mea
culpa. Mea maxima culpa. Go watch Bill Gates’ and Dean
Hachamovitch’s keynote addresses from the MIX06 conference, maybe
their apologies will mean more. You can continue to stew in that if
you want. I’m not asking that people forget that vacation – I don’t
expect them to. I’ve moved on, and I’m trying to do the right thing
now. There's a difference between stewing in the past, and figuring
out where to go from here.

Yes, I have the power to enact change. Yes, I will continue to
improve standards support and compliance in IE, and make the web
better. That’s my job, my charter, my vision, and my passion. The day
it isn’t, I’ll quit. The day the development of the standards-based
platform in IE goes on a back burner again, I’ll quit. My management
up to and including Bill Gates has said we are back in the saddle
with IE, so I have a job to get back to."
- Chris Wilson, Group Program Manager of the Internet Explorer
Platform team at Microsoft
