  It's running in a virtualised environment, according to Microsoft.
  
  I quite like IE11 - it's remarkably nippy compared to Chome, which is now a dog on slower machines, and I've not hit anything that renders incorrectly. If only it had AdBlock.

Good. Especially making sure to include the enhanced developer tools in the same stream.
