Well here is a question:

If IE 8 came out passing the Acid-2 test and was just as standards 
compliant as Opera and they worked on beefing up security and Firefox 3 
did not pass Acid-2:  Would you still recommend Firefox over IE to any 
users?  Would you continue to support Firefox with the gusto many do 
now?  Would you throw bones to Opera?

Would the industry begin to settle back to IE at the expense of Firefox 
and Opera?
