This amounts to a defence of 'well, we might be crap, but at least everyone else is crap too!' Not only is it a claim based on no factual evidence, it assumes that it is ok to be poor quality so long as everyone else is. I find such lack of any drive or hunger to pursue excellence quite depressing.

It is depressing... The browser programmers should be scrambling over each other to improve their browsers. To a certain extent, Opera and Mozilla are doing this. Microsoft has, to all intents and purposes, stopped.
Actually, I didn't mean my previous post to turn in to such an Anti IE rant. I do hold the opinions expressed there, but I think I went on a bit..
Sadly, I have to use IE for one site at work. Our main admin intranet site. The irritating thing is that the only thing that doesn't work properly on that site in Opera is the menu (which is written in Javascript and quite difficult to use even in IE).
