CSS was to a large extent a Microsoft project (when the time came to introduce stylesheets it was more-or-less Opera and Microsoft against Netscape, and Microsoft had many more users than Opera).

Nonetheless Microsoft managed to use CSS to achieve a great deal of user lock-in by refusing to conform to the standard they co-authored.

Well then that's clearly not EEE. There can be more predatory market strategies than just EEE.

- Embrace the web with Internet Explorer.

- Extend the web with CSS as an open standard.

- Extinguish competition by being the main browser and not following the CSS standard.

Still follows the recipe quite well in my opinion.
