Internet Explorer "The saga of Internet Explorer, the piece of software that once brought the Department of Justice to the brink of breaking up Microsoft, continues to eat away at the company. Several Microsoft employees have been reporting on their blogs that they feel the browser is not receiving adequate attention from upper management, and that it reflects badly on Microsoft as a result."

There's simply no profit in making a superb web browser.

The fact that a feature-rich and *secure* web browser would be a nice first step in regaining user trust seems to have completely escaped them, at least for a while.

Maybe IE7 will mark a change in Microsoft's attitude, but I have my doubts. Historically MS has been very good at producing products which are just good enough to maintain their existing user base but not much better (one of the reasons that so many hobbyist types find themselves a bit restricted when using vanilla MS software).
