"Finally, the real story here was the separation of browser from OS, not
IE versus Firefox."

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think for a minute that IE will be
unhooked from the OS. As those of us who deal with securing Windows know,
IE is hooked into the OS in all kinds of ways. Separating IE from the OS
would require an update that not only updates the browser itself but the
underlying architecture of the OS. I don't see that happening absent a
full-blown Service Pack or a new OS.
