IE8 did NOT come out on top. The study says IE and FF3 TIED. Article header is misleading, as is thread title.

Microsoft funded the study. (read the bottom note)

They used Firefox 3.0.11, not 3.5.2.
I know it was unavailable at the time, but juss' sayin'

Opera 10 was used? in alpha/pre-beta stage?

If you read the article on your link, the comments picked apart the study.
