Taken at face value I’m unimpressed. I hope this is taken out of context. As a Web Dev that works from Chrome first I’m disgusted to see these kinds of statements.
I’d be over the Moon to see the end of IE6/7/8 in my day job (thats includes 9 to a lessor degree) but not at the expense of the vibrant and open web. We need strong vendors that provide consumer choice and take a strong standards approach. Not cowboys that go off and do their own thing.
