By pointing a loaded gun to one's head? IE7's team have expressed their will to improve web standards support in their product. And to not forget, IE7 was released mostly because of the rise of Firefox and other alternatives. Their share is going up, not down, so even if MS had some evil intentions it is already to late: no sane developer would use a tool which produces broken result in 20+% of the browsers. -- Regards, Rimantas -- http://rimantas.com/
