What the heck is this talk about a fourth browser to code to? That's the whole point of IE9; to get IE to where Firefox and Safari are.

General IE9 support specs...
Windows XP: Not confirmed
XHTML: Not confirmed
SVG: confirmed
CSS3 Selectors: confirmed
CSS3 Properties: one property confirmed

Additionally any one who pays attention to Opera knows about Vega and thus any one who's read about Vega and noticed Microsoft showed up to an SVG event a couple months ago knows that we're likely to see additional CSS3 properties beyond border-radius.

90% of the complaints I've seen are not substantiated; the only thing any one has said that is agreeable at this point in regards to IE9 is that what we've been previewing is nothing new to other browsers.

On top of that Microsoft more then has enough resources to implement all the missing standards and not simply cherry-picking what they deem to be worth supporting.
