Dude. Microsoft <i>lost</i> an anti-trust trial, at least partially due to the Extreme Marketing of IE.  We're allowed to read some ethically borderline behavior into that period's  PM's resume.<p>I mean, I like Microsoft and Windows as much as the next guy, but geez, as soon as IE had 90%+ marketshare (due, lest we forget, in some measure to illegal behavior) Microsoft just let it stagnate.  That alone should clue you in to how Microsoft feels about web browsers.
