I really hope they do the sensible thing this time.
If they only come up with a shoddy attempt at making a new decent browser, ignoring all the feedback they have on the above link then it'll have the reverse effect of what they wanted and IE will be deserted even more than it will likely be in 2005/2006 or whatver, Mozilla will be the dominant browser by then anyway imo.
But, if they make a good standards compliant browser then it'll be great, because all these people who only know the IE stupid way of making websites will be out of a job and hence more work for those of us who care about compliancy.
