@carywood haha! I did it just yesterday for the first time. Wassup with that?
A plug-in will also require updates for new feature sets. That seems to me to be a clusterf*ck unless actual integration into IE will occur.
@finnatic Definitely a persistent problem due to IE's OS integration. The Web is meant to be platform and user agent INDEPENDENT.
@oo00_Mr_K_00oo Me no run IE unless I'm testing. Opera, remember?
I do think educated web devs will be quick to adopt Frame to simply to get the better standards experience. Keyword: Educated.
@joedevon You'll need to have the "plug-in" AND add an XUA meta (and I think server will likely work too).
I think chrome/IE "frame" is one step for MS to move from Trident, which has caused them, and us, pain and suffering for years. Just sayin.

@Twirrim Okay, it's KIND of a plug-in. We're talking Microsoft and Google. You have to think what it means in terms of future IE development
What the Chrome/IE step could mean is a transition out of Trident & OS dependency - could lead to a very fine browser in terms of standards.
@zahnster hey there! No I don't think it will lower barriers of change unless people get really educated, especially if there's XUA stuff.
@Twirrim No way it's a plug-in if you have to purposely switch to the engine.
WebKit CSS too. You will have to use XUA compat meta (I imagine server will work) to switch to this engine. At least it's not versioning.
BIG NEWS: IE to get Chrome's HTML rendering and JavaScript engine. http://is.gd/3zTbM Google insisted, apparently. What an industry, sheesh!

@rem That's a good idea, I'm working on a talk similar to that, actually building a demo app in HTML5. HTML5doctor.com has been SO helpful!
Really understanding HTML5 in the context web apps is not a natural domain for Web designers who are now designing /software/ & not /pages/.
