I understand that. M$ sees everyone migrating away from IE ... so they are in the Embrace phase of their EEE protocol. Been there done that.What I'm saying that you don't seem to understand is that Internet Explorer 10 and 11 and future releases will render web sites very similar to competing browsers
For IE and "trying to be standards compliant" .... Too little, too late.
M$ can't be trusted with the browser.
They've made life hell for web developers in the past, and probably will try in the future.
And for now, they make inferior products, so the decision is easy.
