IE has caused a lot of pain for web developers. The browser itself has gotten better, but semi-recent decisions (like the fact that WindowsXP is stuck with IE8) still cause pain with these developers.
Even if this was resolved and all Windows machines were magically upgraded to IE9 or IE10, I still couldn't trust microsoft to act developers interest. With this in mind, I will continue to evangelize other platforms when given the opportunity.
It was a great commercial, though. It definitely made me feel silly for evangelizing other browsers, until I remembered that these problems with IE still remain.
tl;dr: Wounds inflicted by IE still remain. And trust will be an issue for a long time.
