Oh boy! I lul'd! I dunno... Is IE still as integrated as it was in XP?

Seems like it. At least the North American one is. The European one is different though.

Hah, yeah I remember that little flame war ;D So I wouldn't see MS killing IE cuz it's too integrated... and now that I think about it, all of the MS dev tools are integrated with IE. Like if you wanted to render HTML in .NET, the default rendering engine would be trident (IE).

Hmm... I got 72 for the Mozilla acid test... but again, I've modded stuff too. I'll try chrome in a moment...
Brand new install of chrome got me 92 on the acid test...
IE8 = 12/100
Opera 10 Beta 100/100, but I'm not really digging the stuff that sticks up above the tabs. (Kind of like chrome but looks slightly messier)

No, it used to be a lot more integrated. You can avoid using it altogether in Vista. Fairly sure XP required it for Windows Update. It was even more integrated in the 9x editions.
As for Windows 7, the only difference between the EU and NA versions is that the NA versions ship with IE installed. You can still remove it.

FF3.5 does much better. Just ran it and got a 93/100. Though the king of standards compatibility is webkit+safari
And I'm happy to know that IE is less integrated now ^^
