I think it can now be safely said, in hindsight, that Microsoft's entry into the browser business and its subsequent linking of the browser into the Windows operating system looks to be the worst decision

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

IE is NOT "the Great Microsoft Blunder" ... Microsoft is "the Great Microsoft Blunder" ... and that includes everything, not just IE. Maybe one day they'll write an article called "Microsoft the Great Blunder" :D

MS do get loads of money from MSN.com, which is only so big because it's the default search engine in IE which most computer users use (but then lots of the IE users also go to the wonderful Google). So I wouldn't say IE's profits would be $0.

Last I checked, they were losing money on MSN.
