They really said that, since they are no longer developing IE as a standalone product, future versions of it will appear in future versions of Windows. Let's not forget the browser wars are over. I use Firebird on my PCs and Unixes (including OSX), but I am in the company of less than 1% of the computer users)

Since MS does not expect any competition from Netscape or Mozilla. Even if Safari takes 100% of the Macintosh installed base, that means only 3% of the overall market.

True, but it's also true that Microsoft issued a statement
that it won't develop any further Internet Explorer versions...
It was right after Safari was published.

Then again, at one point they told that Internet Explorer 6.0
is the best browser ever to be, and it won't be developed more, 'cause it's just perfect as it is. :) (I'm exaggerating a little bit, but someone from MS really told something to that extent, which of course was corrected the next day or so.)
