XP users are stuck with IE8 which is except for questionable SunSpider results the least performant current browser.

That currently cuts out more than half of MS OS clients systems. MS really wants to pressure for its new OS7 by denying hardware accelerating updates and thus next, new IE9 to XP.

So are K-Meleon users and devs hoping for a long time. See:
A letter to Hotmail and recent & past Youtube posts, just to mention two pages where MS has influence and shares.
Common sense becomes so easy when the monopoly starts to wane
