It's cool (for those who don't have a choice / don't understand that they have a choice) that it's getting better, but when you release version 6 of your software that comes pre-installed on millions of computers, and that software chooses to ignore standards and do things a different way, requiring many many dev hours wasted on making compatibility layers...don't expect devs to forget quickly.
When you then go on to do the same thing with versions, 7, 8, and 9 of your software, all broken in new and exciting ways, mostly requiring different versions of your OS to test on...don't expect many people to still develop software for you browser platform. Fool me once, etc.
I'll make things compatible with IE again when they switch to WebKit or actually follow the standards.
