They've had to put some resources on to IE as they didn't bother for the previous 8 years and the stench of the rotten putrid corpse of IE6 was even starting to get to them.
When a single someone can make a tiny javascript file that fixes nearly all the rendering problems in your browser (Dean Edwards, IE6.js, IIRC) then it starts to look really bad for your abilities as a multinational megacorp that's supposed to employ some of the finest programming minds.
My impression is that it's still a pretty small team, if only they'd done it consistently over the last 10 years.
