That's fantastic! I have the opposite story - we sold opinionated Mac software bundles, and one of the perks was we could use the latest Apple-only Safari CSS tricks (this was before Chrome forked from WebKit and Safari was actually leading the way with stuff like CSS transitions/animations and Canvas). Microsoft released free VMs for browser testing in IE and I tried it for kicks, and indeed, our page would literally crash IE when loaded (of course Windows had protected memory so the OS wouldn't crash). We wore it as a badge of honor.
