That's not in Microsoft's interests.

Firefox and Opera aren't necessarily in Microsoft's best interests!

Even without legislation, you should plan for the future - and who knows
what browsers people will be using in the future? For certain, they will
be more conforming to W3C standards, and more easily designed for by
designing for the standard, not the browser.

That's not in Microsoft's interests.

Each new IE has been a bit more conforming than the last.

The current IE6 is going to be the last downloadable release, all others
will be bundled with an OS only. Therefore until a user installs their
yet-to-be-released OS, they cannot upgrade IE6, and so are more likely to
turn to Mozilla/Opera/etc. for more modern features.

Ultimately, if MS wants to remain competitive, they must begin observing
standards in more detail than at present. Their apparent current business
plan of relying on customer laziness to ensure their browser will be used
is not very savvy. Unless they do something to make other browsers not
work on their OS (which would be a bullet to Gates' head) people will
eventually turn to these other browsers.
