But now that Firefox, Safari, and all the cool kids have pretty much standardized full-page-zoom instead of page-layout-zoom, I guess the IE team is being stubborn about moving to the new way of doing things.

FYI, IE invented full page zoom. The "cool kids" wisely borrowed it from IE for their browsers.

When did they do that? I first saw it in Opera, and that was years before the other browsers had it.

In Opera by about 2000, I believe, when IE 5.5 was all the rage.

Opera? Is that a browser? Like for surfing the internet and stuff?

If so, there is at least one thing Opera did not have before the other browsers. Guess what?

Opera 2.10 — Dec. 09, 1996. Features: […] Zoom: proportional full page scaling from 20% to 1000%

IE was 10 years late to the party.
