IE6 accomplished Microsoft’s infamous embrace, extend, and extinguish strategy, but it also allowed Microsoft to become stagnant. Since Gecko- (Firefox) and WebKit-based (Chrome, Safari) web browsers have really taken off, Microsoft has quickly moved to rectify the problem. IE9 and IE10 are much faster and more standards-compliant than previous efforts, but Microsoft’s corporate culture taints the way it views the current browser market.
It’s clear that Microsoft sees WebKit as a threat — specifically in the mobile space.
