Do you forcibly work for the government or do you offer your services in the free market? Does your company hire the worst developers and designers or the best it can afford at the salary it is willing to pay.

In the free market their tends to be high and low quality products based on the price the buyer wishes to pay. You can buy a Lexus or you can by Kia. All transactions are between a willing buyer and seller.

I'd love Microsoft to follow standards, indeed I'm dealing with a IE bug right now that will probably be based on some standards violation, the question becomes should government be involved.

I can't imagine how government does anything but lower standards in these areas.

Assuming you're being serious, I would love to hear your reasoning for this. With most things even remotely technical now happily existing in a "market for lemons," the general effect of a free market seems to be to lower quality to the lowest level allowed by law. Where does the impetus for high standards come from in your imagined utopia?
