As limited as the Windows Store may be right now, your CAN search through it either by selecting the search charm or by hitting Win-Q. That will basically work as a contextual search for whatever app you have running at the moment you start your search. Win8 has a lot of new Win- keyboard shortcuts which you'd never really know about unless you searched for them, but they do make getting around a lot better.

For what its worth, I'm on Windows 8, thus I have IE10. I ran acidtest3, and believe it or not, it did score 100. I may not be the reputable source you are looking for... but I was just as surprised as you may be with the result. IE's been off my radar for too long for me to care either way though.

...and the one where Miami was simply 'Closed for Repairs'.

Just wait, that's the argument they're going to use on appeal.

I think in most cases it's not even a matter of having to reprogram the entire web application. The backend should need no updating (even though it may be preferable in some cases). I'd bet the majority of the issues are simply X will render in IE6 as designed, but nowhere else. And thats no big surprise. It's also not a big deal to fix. I cant be the only one here who thinks there's a world of difference between updating a frontend and redeveloping an entire web app. The former should take a small fraction of time/resources versus an entire rebuild, and in both cases the end result would be the same for the user. It sounds like there's a nice new emerging market for any of us who wish to play cleanup and make a few dollars for some easy work in the meantime.
