Except for those who can't use Internet Explorer...
Microsoft do _not_ code for all machines or operating systems.
Microsoft do _not_ tend to do things properly.
It would be easier if Microsoft just complied with standards instead of flagrantly breaking them. It would be much _worse_ for everyone if the world standardised on Internet Explorer, because then they would have no barriers to ultimately forcing everyone to upgrade software and OS every so often. Which they really want to do, and it would turn out expensive.
This said, I am using IE and quite like it. This does not mean I think everyone else should - there are many sound and solid objections, and browser uniformity would be a very bad idea.
