I stand by the belief that if Microsoft wanted to make IE a core part of the operating system, then it should get support for new web standards for as long as the OS gets security updates. A 10-year out of date browser just isn't useful, even if it is "secure". And by being the default, they are ensuring that many users are stuck with it. IE prevents me from using a lot of JavaScript and CSS features that have been around for years, all because 40% of my users work for companies or government entities that don't let them install Chrome or Firefox. "Web standards compliance" updates that get rolled out with security updates would solve this problem.
