This from Appleinsider “Addressing a developer conference in Sydney Australia, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the idea of using WebKit as the rendering engine within its web browser was “interesting” and added “we may look at that.”

Think of the hours of development time that would be saved! Can you hear me big baby Jesus? This is what I want for christmas!

Let it be known that if Microsoft adopts WebKit then forces it into the base of OS installations effectively eliminating IE6/7/8?. Although highly unlikely I will immediately give them my left testicle, and promise to not to bad mouth them to everyone I know. I would much rather be a one-ball wonder, than continue on in a world where the most used browser interprets clean modern markup much in the same way a dyslexic person reads a newspaper article.

But that’s what we have to deal with when a lot of people think the internet is the blue “e” on their desktop.
