This is going to magically fix the pages of people who don't give a crap about IE, but it will cause more work for people who have worked hard to code around IE's issues. it’s easy to knock microsoft over this issue, but do try to keep in mind that there are many many millions of pages coded specifically to handle IE’s quirks.
