M$ has always considered IE to be a development platform central to their 
world domination strategy.  The world domination strategy may be a little 
hard to swallow, but IE is a heck of a development platform (as long as you 
stay away from the M$ development tools, but SVG and Perl, for example, are 
not M$ development tools).  I don't feel any moral outrage at IE.  Just as 
an example, I don't think IE is the moral equivalent of Lord Lytton in India.
