Do web standards have a future?

Sydney Morning Herald: "Usually I am the kind of person who looks to the future. In the last few months Microsoft has made a couple of very significant announcements with possibly quite negative implications for the future of a standards-based web - which has me thinking about that future, and wondering whether there even is such a future ... We can only hope to see Safari for Windows, and maybe other platforms. And with it thriving browser innovation based on the open standards of the World Wide web. And if that happened, you can be sure Microsoft would get in on the act as well, as they did when IE was not the colossus it has become."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Safari is my favorite browser on any platform, and I'd use it as my main browser in Windows if it were available. Come on, Apple: Drive a stake into the weakest freaking part of Microsoft's platform, and do it sooner rather than later. You've got a two year period of dead time before Longhorn ships. Make the best of it.
