#2but it feels so incredibly late in the game to improve their font rendering to acceptable, never mind pushing the limits a little.
Late in the game compared to what? The browser wars are really heating up again! Plus, it's not like the internet is going anywhere sometime soon, so it seems kind of odd to call it "late" in the game.

#3So he's complaining about both a) IE is bad and b) Microsoft is trying to make it better. I suppose he'd like them to just discontinue the whole thing, then? Not the most likely, or even desirable, outcome.

Frankly, I'm glad to see MS stepping up to the plate and working towards a better browser. If you don't like IE9, don't use it, but more competition is never a bad thing.

More competition is never a bad thing, true. But IE is so far behind it's genuinely slowing the development of the internet and it really looks like IE9.x will continue this trend.
Forget the rendering differences (for which you can argue there are legacy issues that MS should care about) the pure speed of JS in the various IE's REALLY hurts the internet. Even a moderately complex Google maps mash up requires serious thought on IE as it's just SO slow.

No he is saying fix it properly or just don't bother - if this was released tomorrow we'd have 3 different versions of IE to worry about.

JS has only recently picked up speed, with vastly improved implementations in recent browser versions. It is not surprising that the one or other vendor is lagging behind, but why shouldn't they be able to catch up? So what is bad about a new IE with faster JS?
