Whatever. The fact still remains that IE is the dominant Browser, and being the weakest link, you have to just be happy for every feature that they add or fix, because as soon as that happens, there's a hope of you actually being able to use it.
If I were to say anything to the IE team it woud be, "Great job! Now keep going, please."
For my sites IE is no longer the 'dominant browser', it's market share has fallen to ~35%, down from >50% a year ago. Of that 35%, only half is IE8 with IE 6 & 7 making up the other half.
If trends continue, IE9 might constitute 10% of my total traffic in 2 or 3 years. I 'm not looking forward to supporting yet another quirky MS based browser.
When I was talking about XHTML, I estimated that IE8 might die in 5 years after IE9 release. I mention XHTML because it is an area where IE has been the weakest link for years.
