I can't see why government should be enforcing standards. Shouldn't
that be a decision of private companies, developers and users not
government?

Personally I'm looking forward to buying computers with virtually
nothing pre installed. I always end up deleting most of it anyway.
Alot of people start off by reinstalling the OS to get rid of all the
junk the PC manufacturers put on.
Indeed. But to bring it on-topic, I doubt very highly that Opera's
motivation is standards. If the unimaginable happened and MSIE8 were
as standards-comformant as Opera, it would also be stronger in the
marketplace. The best thing that could happen for standards-oriented
web developers would be that all computers shipped with a single,
extensible browser appliance with a standards-based module, managed
and updated by an independent party, being the chief extension. It's
better that the industry wake up now because eventually someone is
going to figure out that a browser is an appliance and the only thing
it should be doing is supporting standards and sitting unobtrusively
in the background acting as a window to the web.
