Back in the 90's I sort of understand why it was important to have a significant market share for your browser (OK, I don't fully get why it was THAT important but OK...) Now, in 2009, the question is why would Microsoft care about IE's market share? Is there any difference for MS in having 50% or 90%? What are the "threats" of losing a market share? Does Microsoft care about the market share at all these days or is IE being updated just for the sake of security and convenience of users?

No, marketshare isn't important anymore, if there is a standard to which every browser would comply to, since the web experience should be the same. What's important now is, that the browser is secure and the web application works flawlessly. It's just about avoiding negative PR.
