Not only is IE much, much better now, the IE team is open to what they're doing. See http://status.modern.ie/. Statya Nadella is making big changes to how Microsoft operates. We've seen most of .Net, all of ASP.Net, and office file formats go open source in the past few months. Even before Ballmer left, we saw more openness and support of competing technologies with EF being open source and 30% of Azure servers running Linux. You can provision Sales Force, Oracle, Linux, and other non-Microsoft products. And, they're fully supported.
