About a year after the first beta (which was followed by another beta and a release candidate), Microsoft has announced the release of the final version of Internet Explorer 8, the company's newest browser. The focus of Internet Explorer 8 is better standards compliance, security, and making "common online tasks faster and easier".

No. They have websites they have to use that won't work in anything but internet explorer. Thank you US Government for helping the Microsoft Monopoly. 
Ooh, the temptation to go on one of my Ayn Rand/Libertarian trademark rants over the evils of big government and how it entrenches monopolistic bebehavior is very intense
Lets put it this way; if government wasn't so big, and people's reliance of having to interact with it on some level was that of being trivial (and the limited amount required was done using open standards formats) - then maybe we wouldn't have the entrenched Microsoft monopoly because of it

Aren't you contradicting yourself a bit here? Might as well force them to use Firefox. Or better yet, don't force anything, just provide Firefox and IE8.
