Exactly: Having a developer working on windows was a blessing since it allowed someone in the team to test on EI11 before we shipped to the product team, and it really improved our reactivity on this plateform.

At least these days you can download VirtualBox images for free to test on IE11. But yeah, it's a luxury if there's a Windows developer that you can have fixing all the IE11 bugs ;).

I was under the impression that IE was standards compliant enough by version 11 that this shouldn't be necessary, but I guess not.

Well, it's pretty complaint to standards now. The problem is that it's just 2-3 year old standards.
