On another board, people are all excited about this but I said they need to take a wait and see and "I'm from Missouri, show me" attitude. Microsoft has not shown they can produce a standards compliant browser on par with the others and, so far, the article points out it isn't even level with IE11. And it is this same hype for every version of IE for the past 10 years that we've all been told the same thing, "This one will be the best!".

It's way beyond IE11, what the article was referring to is the score of the IE11 version running with all the optional flags of the Edge rendering engine, which you can't configure in Spartan yet.

Honestly I think it'll have surpassed Firefox before the beta of Windows 10 finishes.

Nowhere in the article does it say that. It DOES say Spartan couldn't match IE11's score.

if it will truly be evergreen as they promise, then it doesnt need to roll out completely bug-free, because things will hopefully get fixed/patched continuously.

i'll take that over the inter-windows-release stagnation and long tail legacy support we have to deal with today.
