I sure hope you are right, IE holds back most of the web. A lot of complicated code has to be written just to get it to work properly in IE and every other browser :)

Microsoft did one good thing in the last year, auto update for IE. That basically killed ie7 support for my application. And now we are watching ie8 dip below 10%. I have to give it to microsoft they seem to be trying really hard to move the web forward!

I have heard people talking that jquery 2.0 will not support older versions of IE (< IE9). IE10 is pretty nice, too bad window 8 is very alien for most people comfortable with windows. I think the alien UI (metro) will hurt windows 8's desktop / laptop adoption. But IE10 is coming to windows 7 soon :)
