Web sites that don't adhere to the W3C standards

[Gabor Szabo]

Every now and then we complain about one of the Israeli web sites that
don't work
in Firefox.
AFAIK the usual response is that they should build their site based on
the W3C standards.
I thought it must be something good that large International web aware
companies must
already do so I checked Google.com, Yahoo.com and just so we can laugh MSN.com

>From the three only MSN passed the validation.

So why do the other two disregard the standard?
Do they care less about Firefox than Microsoft?
