If they were going to rebuild it from the ground up anyway, would it really have killed them to just use Webkit?
Unless there is a security risk or something glaring we're missing...
Edit: Atleast IE9 and IE10 pass the Acid3 test 100/100. Not sure how that reflects on html5/css3.
Don't care how good the browser is, Microsoft has caused me so much pain over the last decade and a half with their products I am simply unwilling to trust them ever again. I tolerate their products because I have to, but whenever I have the chance to slit the throat of their technologies in the workplace, I do so without remorse. Do I sound angry? No, I'm not angry.
