IE8 - Just Do It Already, but WHY?

Point #1:* Microsoft has certainly never received any money from me for using Internet Explorer.

Point #2: Just make the browser do everything so I can please stop listening to people whine about what IE doesn't do and firefox/opera/whatever does.* Just do it already.

So here's the deal.* They don't seem to get much for money from IE so I'm not sure why this would make any business sense, but I wish MS would grab some extra resources and just make IE king of the bloody mountain already.

Is this really so hard?* Does it come down to the fact that there isn't any money in it?* So often they seem to do just enough to get by.* I know some people think it is cool to be anti-microsoft and what not, but listening to it just gets old and some times I just want Microsoft to buckle down and punch somebody in the mouth.

A first target for a right hook?* I'll leave that up to a general vote.
