    So, instead the blogger should declare that MS cheated at the benchmarks with nothing more than his results for which he admits that there are at least three plausible explanations?

    And, then Taco should treat the author's biased opinion as fact? Remember, the title of this post is "Internet Explorer 9 Caught Cheating in SunSpider."

    I don't think so.

    And, where is the response from MS? Did anyone ask MS, or did someone find this and go "MS is CHEATING!!11!!one!" without actually investigating or even asking MS? Because, it really looks like the latter, which would make this just more MS bashing blogspam.
