Last I checked, Microsoft had group leads on the HTML5 working group. They also
were heavily active in the first DOM, CSS and XSLT specifications, IIRC.
This is definitely getting off-topic, and not at all useful to the readers of
this list. Intended or not, your post was flamebait, and would be much better
received somewhere like the Javascript list on Usenet.

That's a little unfair; generally their products use the standard's spec if
one exists at the time they implement the feature. It'd be more accurate to
say that they won't remove support for their existing syntax/architecture
when a new one is introduced in a W3C spec.

Because Microsoft will always be on the opposing side.
As a web developer, I follow the HTML/browser goings-on. Microsoft has
been on the opposite side with javascript, css, and, recently, the html5
working group. Showing up years late, after all the other browser
vendors have signed off on things, they typically write up a long list
of opposing views.
I don't want to degrade this into a flamefest but that was the reason
for my comment.
