The sad thing about this is that web developers, for the most part will now continue ignoring IE as it has strayed so far off the industry standards. The cost to the web developers for supporting IE is usually between 40 and 50 percent more than supporting the other browsers. Stats have stated that there is less than 15 percent of developers who are actively supporting IE and with that recent announcement those percentages will continue to drop. It will only go to hurt Microsoft and their customers in the long run.
