Well, the first sentence wasn't in the article, but a general summing up of 
popular anti-MS attitudes (and another article I say about how IE8 is just 
playing catch-up with everyone else).

The whole article is going on about 'well, ok, IE8 is a teeny bit faster 
loading pages than Firefox', then the last paragraph says "In practical, 
everyday use, you likely won't notice much of a difference between IE 8 and 
Firefox 3. Due to the fact that broadband connections are so commonplace 
today, and the fact that browsers in general can load pages faster than they 
could even a couple years ago, the page load time differences between the 
two are relatively moot."

Basically, it grudgingly admits that IE8 is a little bit better in a 
particular aspect, then dismissing it as irrelevant, where with any other 
browser, any speed increase would be trumpeted as the greatest thing since 
sliced breat (especially if it were for a Mac).
