Yes but at a broken standard

IE9 only passed the Acid3 cause they changed it.

So that's 3 years after Opera past the Acid test if I recall correctly.
Microsucks always playing catchup.

Nope. I agree IE 8 failed Acid3 utterly bad but much of the development of IE 8 had completed in mid-2008 around the same time Acid3 was released, if I am correct. The remaining part of IE 8's development consisted of bug fixing and finalization of broken features. Then Microsoft introduced IE 9, which had a good score on Acid3. Microsoft purposely made IE 9 not pass the Acid3 fully; Acid3 Test was written in 2008 and there were newer technologies available as replacement. 95/100 was result of IE 9 not supporting SVG Fonts (3 points) and an other thing; both of which were replaced; remember SVG fonts are going to be replaced by WOFF.

At least Opera fans can't boast their "superioty" over IE9 Acid3 tests.

It was a joke, but actually its a significant point that the latest version of Opera can still run on Windows XP, which many of us are still using. Opera also runs on Linux and Mac OS. How does IE do there?

According to WC3 Browser Stats Page less than 50% of users are running Win7 or Vista, so I think that also means that over 50% of users cannot use IE9 or 10.

Take that IE fans!

And 59% of users can't use IE 10. Windows XP (50% +) and Windows Vista (9.xx %) are not compatible with IE 10.

Not. The significant point here is that Opera never excluded any feature particularly for Windows XP users. See Mozilla for example, which provides full HWA and it's new Azure 2D API to Windows Vista and 7 only. Or take Google, who has disabled it's GPU acceleration, other accelerated features, WebGL many times in past and we still don't know if the GPU acceleration of Chrome under Windows XP is stable or not.

No, its not just you. If you have the Image Resizer extension installed it breaks the Acid3 test.

Disable it before running the test.
