Yes! Because trident wasn't different to WebKit and they definitely worked hard to make it superior!
Wait, no, this is Microsoft we're talking about, and they'll use their monopoly to force everyone to have the "new IE", and they'll break the web, again.
Honestly, I don't know why you think they'd do anything different. They've managed one release of IE that was actually innovative and good for its time - IE4.
I have little faith that they won't just produce some xslt spewing horror show that only works with drm monitors and complains if the backend isn't .net.
