> And there's the tactical argument of "the enemy of your enemy

I agree on this one. After all, IE is now in great shape because of the competition.

IE is abandoned, isn't it? Keep in mind that Microsoft bought Andreessens code from NCSA after Andreessen left to found Netscape, so Netscape was competing against a bad version of itself, made worse by Microsoft.

  • Edge is just a commercial IE alias. It's still IE, just like Firefox is still Firebird, a XUL based browser.
