Say what?

What are you basing you biased verdict on? There are some innovations in IE, but to be fair, it isn't much and it's very late.

One thing that the article doesn't mention is standard compliance. IE has done something to improve this, but is so far behind Firefox/Opera/Safari. My advice to the IE team would be to put Gecko or KHTML inside IE 7.1 and forget about the broken browser they have now.

When IE6 was released, it was in my opnion the best browser available. So much has happened since then and now the only browser IE can beat is Netscape 4 and IE < 7. My personal favorite Opera is leading both Firefox and IE accessibility and usability, but are lacking extensions.
