"Microsoft boasts an Acid3 score of 32/100, and actually believes that Acid3 is to blame." Can we get a quote on that one ? I saw on PDC (it was broadcasted live ) the presenter saying that IE9 displayed was just their most recent build and that it will get better. Nothing about Acid3 being to blame.

From http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/11/18/an-early-look-at-ie9-for-developers.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/11/18/an-early-look-at... which was posted to HN a few days ago: Some standards tests – like Acid3 – have become widely used as shorthand for standards compliance, even with some shortcomings. I read this, at the time, as a somewhat whiny "if Acid 3 was a better test, we'd be able to pass it". As for the "boasting", they included a screen shot. And to be honest, this score is so low, I didn't even remember what a 32/100 Acid3 result looked like, so the screenshot was useful.
