the problem isn't whether ie10 is good or not. It's that microsoft's update schedule runs at a glacial pace compared to chrome and firefox, both of which are on a 6 week(!!) rolling release schedule. Compare that to IE where literally years can go by between releases.

I really don't get why MS don't fork their browser into corporate and consumer versions. Let the corporate users run on ie6/7 or whatever legacy crap they need and let the rest of the web move at a reasonable pace.

Anyway that's where I think the hostility to IE is coming from.
