I just realized this:

Companies totally unaffiliated with Windows manage to produce browsers that have bleeding-edge feature parity all the way from XP through 8 (not to mention two other major OSes).

But when the company that fucking makes Windows manages to make their (less functional) browser work with a single version of a single OS they themselves produce and support, it's a news item.

The situation is much better than it used to be. However, consider that for many web developers, a quick transition from IE9 to IE10 will be a big improvement. Microsoft's sheer size and impact makes it news.
