Possibly open to interpretation as ‘fighting words’, the Mozilla crew takes aim at Microsoft’s lofty claim that IE9 is the most HTML5 ready.
Interesting post, to say the least. Microsoft’s distribution model, unlike Chrome and Firefox, involves stable releases without incremental updates for draft features — and so, increasingly reliant on widescale standards being adopted. Chrome, who pushes updates silently, will likely never get the penetration it needs with corporations, who prefer the stability of an unchanging browser.
That said, there is an increasing developer community that resents MSFT’s archaic model and slow evolution (the blog post claims Firefox 3.5 released 2 years ago, is STILL more web compliant than IE9), and have stopped developing or allowing features to degrade gracefully for IE users.
Users are becoming savvier and uninstalling or downloading more versatile browsers.
A marketing battle to see who boasts the loudest will ensue, bet on it. In the end, that which shows the most sites best will likely prevail. Microsoft would be smart to start winning over the developers and designers who create them.

Interesting quote from Mozila’s blog: “The days when one browser would be 2x or 6x as fast as another are gone. Now it’s more like 1.1x or 1.2x.”
Competition = good.
