Lets not forget that just a a few years back things weren't moving *at all*. IE7 is basically just IE6 with tabs. It solved a bug or two, but introduced a few others.
The real step forward only came in March 2009 with IE8, which supports pretty much everything you'd expect from a CSS-compliant browser (Although it does have a few problems, but nothing as major as in IE6/7).

Things are definitely not at the level they "should" be, but rather than criticizing Microsoft for moving to slow, I would applaud them for moving *at all*. You catch more with honey than with vinegar and all that
