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.
