Opera employ the guy hat made Acid2, and he is in contact with Mozilla and Safari dev's hammering out the bugs which cause imperfect rendering of Acid2.

I am sure that Microsucks has purposely setup a browser full of holes for the functioning of business. Otherwise many spywares would not work were it their intention to make a safe browser. As it is, Microsucks sees problems as being user problems till either it can't be hid or till they eventually get around to it. There are several organizations that have at one time or another made special note to Microsucks of security problems with both its OS and its browser and a year later it was still ignored. A good example of one where it could not be ignored was when the Homeland Security office issued a special warning to consumers to get rid of the security problem of Internet Explorer in favor of a more secure browser such as Firefox or Opera. If meeting this WYSIWYG means a less secure browser, I can live with the lack of it meeting certain standards. What resulted when Microsucks rushed to fix the issue was SP2. The speed at which it got out left it without being tested on many systems for compatibilty. The horror stories of folks fighting with a partial install that went wrong were legend.
