tldr: Ignore this article. It's 3+ years old and the marketplace has changed significantly. IE6 & 7 should no longer be on anyone's support matrix. IE8 is heading out, IE9 was really damn good, and IE10 (being released this month) is as fast or better than Chrome and has very good support for most html5 and js features. Basically, with IE10 Internet Explorer is going to be on par and perhaps even start pushing ahead of other browsers. Lemme also say that I'm not a Windows user, Chrome is my fav, etc. But from the testing I've done and people I've talked to, that is what I base my assessment on.
