Then, if it is that easy, explain again how Microsoft is NOT 
deliberately excluding very, very wanted features for their 
browser(software)? If they had any interest in end user developers, why 
not just set aside one hour of work for one or two developers? Is your 
argument still that it's all about money?

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft have an army of strategist (is it the 
correct word?) as well, and while their minds are surely set on money in 
80% of the cases, I would be surprised if they're not also actively 
making sure that Microsoft is "on top", one way or another. 
Concentrating on non-standard solutions while being the superior 
software provider of the planet (at least for normal users) will do this 
job very well, since it will be they and only they who know how to work 
the machine in the end.

I'm sorry for the unfriendly tone previously. I get caught up in 
discussions badly, and in my opinion Microsoft is The Company when it 
comes to f**king with us, the developers. I didn't use to have this 
black and white view on it, but after talking to a lot of people (among 
other, people working for Microsoft) who fully or partially confirmed 
that Microsofts point in everything is "we won't do it the way you want 
or the way you think or the good way , we do it our way" - because then 
they're in control of everything.

Money is a very big issue, yes, but power and world dominance (he he) 
are big issues as well.
