A world in which Internet Explorer is indistinguishable from Google Chrome doesn't seem like a bad world, even if it means that Microsoft gets to keep 50, 40, 30 or however many percent of the market. Google is strong, Apple is strong, Mozilla is (sorta) strong. I don't think we have to fear a world in which Internet Explorer is a great browser, not as much as in the nineties, anyway. A world in which Internet Explorer kinda makes progress but not as fast as other browsers (which is in my opinion the world we are living in) is quite different, I think. Internet Explorer can't win in such a world but it can slow down progress (compared to it not existing at all or compared to an Internet Explorer that is on par with, say, Webkit). I still think that such a world is preferable to being stuck on IE6 forever. And I'm hearing good things about IE10, so maybe we get to live in a world in which Internet Explorer is indistinguishable from Chrome.
