Opera applauds scepticism on MS browser pledge

Whats the point???

If Microsoft ship with a Ballot Screen or No browser, nothing will effectively change.

Ballot Screen - people who use IE now will choose IE again, Firefox users choose Firefox etc, so nothing new there, going to end with the same market share.

No browser - people will just go and find a way of getting their existing browser, so no change again.

Personally I have used most of the major browsers, and in the end my general browsing comes back to IE for compatability, all Web Devs code for IE, not all code for the rest.

What does opera expect to gain from this, because all i can see is the exact same situation, because in the end people are lazy and will stick with what they know.
