    From my point of view, as a web person, IE9 IS good in that it supports most of the features I'd expect from a web browser in the year 2005

      @ceruleanspark Making it about has good of a browser as how bread from 2005 is a perfectly filling meal.

      @ceruleanspark IE9 and IE10 are genuinely pretty good, so far as rendering goes. But they still lose, for my usage, in customizability, and the fact that Microsoft arbitrarily locks anyone still sticking with XP out of upgrading that far rubs me the wrong way.

        @bitshift It's not arbitrary. They genuinely rely on Windows features not present in their decade old, two generations (soon to be 3) behind the times operating system.

          @ceruleanspark Maybe so, but absolutely requiring those features _is_ arbitrary, given Firefox (and Chrome, I _think_) have got the same type and speed of hardware acceleration (where supported), without making it a hard requirement.
