    Because if IE becomes more standards complient, that means that web coders will make their websites standards compliant. Thats good for the alternative browsers out there like Firefox and Opera more then anyone else. MS has enjoyed being in control of the bulk of the web browsing community for so long that if their browser doesn't conform to standards, the web coders have to conform to the browser.
