Now all we need is software vendors to stop relying on IE7 or IE8's components (or install them for their use).

Remember back then when Vista was called Longhorn? Yeah you couldn't install many of the antiviruses from the main vendors at that time because they used xml4 and IE components for their dialog boxes. (This might be why other antiviruses took off, because the dialogs used standard presentation libraries).

Also worth noting, let's see what happens with Microsoft Office (office's help relies heavily on IE components for it's help browser).

This is a good move in the right direction.
