Oh and that's the other thing. Do you think that the Acid2 test is going to include the bogus meta tag? I doubt that it passes.

I know of a couple.
http://www.netbattletech.com/nbt-classi ... tarmap.php (sort of works on Firefox, but it doesn't handle the click position properly)
Yahoo's "Launchcast" service - some online radio thing - refuses to work outside of IE.

Personally, I still use Firefox despite the huge amount of memory it eats, mostly because of extensions and the fact that it has one of the few decent-but-not-utterly-bloated IRC clients available. The real reason, of course, is just that the logo is cool.
