Microsoft ships their browser on 250-300 million new PCs and tablets every year, or roughly 200% more computing devices than in 1999. Most of those go to consumers. I'd say Microsoft will continue to have a foothold (of some scale) with consumers by default as well, even if it's just 10%-20% of PC/laptop/surface consumers that will use the Microsoft browser by default, that becomes a big installed base.

Google has its own proprietary sign in features across its offering. I think it's becoming more or less standard fare.

And many more who swear at VBScript...

VBScript needs to die. Microsoft has been trying to kill anything VB-related for years. It's a zombie.

The guys who swear by it are not programmers. Sorry.
