Looking forward to it (seriously, no irony here)

Google is the old Microsoft, Microsoft is the old Google.

Outside the Far East IE 6 is already history. In Russia it has been overtaken by Opera Mini is now being threatened by Google.

The "Far East" is one huge portion of the IDN world .....

The problem is Microsoft is the only browser company that has made upgrades difficult or impossible for many users. This has not only held back IDN development, it has also held back every other browser-based innovation on the web.

I'll start respecting M$ when they allow everyone in the world to upgrade their version of IE in a quick and painless way, a la FF or Opera. Without that, M$ will continue to slow down innovations, such as HTML5, IDNs etc.
