Does it even want, or need, to? That's probably a more interesting question, though this is still a fairly sophisticated argument he's making, not the "Microsoft sucks!" article that you might guess from the headline.
Since MSFT entered the Web search market, it is in their interest to maintain a solid presence in the browser market. The only way they can achieve this (besides having a large OS market) is by making a superior browser.
As long as they adopt open standards I have no problem with it.
Personally, I will never use IE browser even if it is the fastest, most compliant browser around. IE have scarred me too much during my web design days to ever fully trust them. I will stick with Chrome & Firefox.
