It would be very easy.
They could release an update to IE which consisted of a script which removed IE and downloaded Firefox 3, accompanied with an apology for IE ever having existed.
I’m just saying. I’d respect them more if they did it, for one.

It's generally bad marketing to admit complete and total failure.
That said, I was at a MS-run conference on Friday where a “Software Evangelist” took a half hour trying to show a room full of us how to debug JavaScript using FireBug.
This happened after the proud announcement that ASP.Net will now support development using MVC, which is really a shout of “Me too!” to Rails developers.
Yes, an admission of failure isn't what most companies would want to put out there. I almost think, though, that the admission of failure in the case of IE would be _better_ press than simply allowing it to continue existing.
I may be biased because IE7 is creating a lot of extra work for me yesterday and today. :-)
