The fact is that Microsoft has been trying to change the HTML format by introducing their own proprietary extensions and ignoring open standards from w3c.
Microsoft has not complained that HTML is open. Microsoft has not attempted to create a browser that uses a completely new format that only operates via its IIS Webserver. Microsoft has not complained that HTML is open, which was my argument.
I am well aware that Microsoft has attempted to hijack the HTML format, and add its own proprietary extensions in order to gain some control over it; however, that has not prevented other browsers/operating systems from using the standard HTML format. Running IIS server doesn't mean that you cannot serve standard HTML pages.
