The Bad: Not available on XP and no guarantee it will be. XP users will be [...]

Due to web images being optimized for on-screen display (let’s say 96 DPI), images on printed pages are usually blurry, but they don’t have to be:

Technical Preview 2 came close, but the latest nightly build is on the money!
This site has an entire history of Opera browsers testing Acid2. Note that IE7’s rendering is close to that of 2001’s Opera 6.

Opera 9 Technical Preview 2 rendering of the Acid2 test:
