Do you think Microsoft has given up on Internet Explorer being the top browser?

I was looking at a description of Microsoft Silverlight, a free plugin for web browsers that allows web designers to program view rich content (Like movies, sound etc.) into websites more easily. Check this out! This is quoted from the Microsoft website.

"Silverlight media capabilities include fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality audio and video to all major browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Windows Internet Explorer".

They've put Windows Internet Explorer at the bottom of the list of major browsers - why do you think that is so?
