After IE6, a good chunk of the team was repurposed to work on the next-gen presentation technology for Longhorn, which eventually became WPF/XAML.
Another part of the team went on to build some ill-fated re-skinnings of IE, such as MSN explorer.
So yes, the Longhorn train wreck was a big reason for the sabbatical, but not the only one.
