It's still the same engine, so in a way they are not competing. FF is the only alternative in town and that scares me. Even Opera gave up on their engine. And indeed Google is trying to do a similar thing, but they have less power to do so than what Microsoft did. Google can force certain things, but Microsoft is in far better position to push things their way. But like you said, competition is a good thing.
