Thanks and I for one will be keeping a close eye on that as I've mailed people (including Paul thurrot - http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_lice nsing.asp ) about this, commented about this on many a blog including IE's and no one (at Microsoft - so far) seems to accept that charging and/or charging excessively ie more than once (multiple versions of XP/Vista) can make no sense. We want to make pages that work in your product (or multiple versions of it IE5, 5.2, 5.5, 6 and 7) but we're (developers) expected to fork out for a copy of the OS each time to do it? and previously pay for Virtual PC.
Re: Acid test Thats right in the same way as an exam has nothing to do with the subject its based on, wtf. The acid test is based on the standards as a test for them it may not pass them itself thats irrelevant
