Why would they everyone takes Windows as THE OS not a OS. People expect Windows to be the best therefore they expect the software included in Windows to be the best.
They don't expect these things. They don't now there's something else than Windows. Windows was included with their Dell. They don't know what an OS is.

IE was the milestone for web browsers and it still should be although Firefox has kinda took over. IE is one of the reasons Micrsoft is so popular. When they make a IE 7 it might be just the best web browser yet.
I agree with heatus

Microsoft don't need to update Internet Explorer they know that people are still going to use it, its a free product and Microsoft are interested in making money.
Yeah, MS should do something about IE's rendering engine. It'd be really nice if it'd support <object> according to the W3C standards. That would mean that you could have text with markup as alt-text, and have multiple
imagesmedia (if one doesn't work, your browser'll try the next one).
And of course MS is threatened. If people go IE -> Firefox, they might also go Office -> OOo, and Outlook -> Thunderbird. And since these are all cross-platform.......
