You can say all you want.  Every professional designer I have ever 
talked with lamented the poor state of standards conformance of IE for 
Windows.  And they could document it.  MS only has compatibility with 
itself, and that is it.  And since it is the 800lb gorilla, they think 
they can basically do whatever they want.

People I highly respect have done lots of tests of browsers with the 
standard and conformance to the W3C standards suites and IE Windows 
does not do that well.
