You know what's funny though, is that MS went against the standards and supported CSS many years before W3C recommended it. It didn't even work in Netscape at all when MS introduced support for it. So one could say that it was MS's rogue behavior that got the ball rolling.
Now we've got W3C (whom MS has never been on great terms with) and Firefox demanding things be done a certain way. Fact is, they have no room to talk. As long as MS controls 90-95% of the market, they don't need to listen to the little guys creating their "official" standards. In reality, whatever MS does is THE standard that designers will live by.
Yeah, it really sucks that MSIE and Firefox don't work exactly the same. But my point is, MS needs to have most of the influence at W3C given their market position.
