Wake up. Microsoft is shifting focus to providing services. They realize they
cannot stomp _all_ competition, but they do want to have a share in what's
left. If they succeed in improving the Unix IE enough, they'l draw _some_
public to use it, no doubt. And a web-browser is another tool for them to
point users at services _they_ provide.
