The result is the same when comparing nightly builds. Actually IE updates each month now. Previously only critical updates were included on “patch Tuesdays”, but now features are added too. That is not to say that these particular features will be included in monthly updates to the stable version of IE11.

The most ECMAScript 6 compatible browser? Not the one you’d expect twitter.com

The VMs are not going anywhere. This is an additional service for those that can’t or don’t want to use virtual machines, or find this more convenient.

> IE11 just got prefetch and pre rendering, something the other browsers have had for years

Actually, Safari still doesn’t support either, and Firefox doesn’t support prerender. See http://status.modern.ie/prerenderattribute?term=pre and http://status.modern.ie/prefetchattribute?term=pre

The data from the links above is pulled in from Google‘s ChromeStatus site.

Also IE is updated regularly now. Feature updates are often included in patch Tuesday updates, such as big upgrades to WebGL and WebDriver support. As features are implemented (see in development in the links above) they're evaluated to see if they will be included in IE11 updates.
