If you look at the IE6 -> IE7 backpedal, where they announced there would be
no new browser upgrades except for operating system upgrades, then changed
their mind when firefox started getting big marketshare, I'd say there is
hope. I still like FF more than IE7 but IE7 is sooooo much better than IE6
and I will say that it is better at a couple things than FF. (font rendering
is the biggie) MS can innovate when pressured to do so.

You're not wrong though about the attack lawyers... seems to be their plan
for office suite competition.
