why the need for such a large picture to show such little info?
Why only prereleases for IE and Chrome? Also that HTML5 test is bogus as its weights are completely arbitrary, counts things that were rejected by the W3C like Web SQL Database, and does not verify correctness (e.g., Chrome's implementation of WebSockets does not match the current draft.)
The HTML5 test doesn't include rejected features in its score. It gives a score based on actual HTML5, and gives a separate number of "bonus points" based on related technologies that make the browser more compatible with others.
