It’s Opus, it rocks and now it’s an audio codec standard

I expect Firefox and Chrome to adopt this within months, but IE10 is coming out soon. Does it mean it won't have it? And then we'll have to wait another year or more for IE11 to implement it? Not to mention IE9 and IE8 will probably never get it.

I also assume WebM will replace Vorbis with Opus very soon?

Firefox already adopted it (it's in nightly builds). Chrome seems to have WontFixed it,

It's actually in Firefox 15, not just nightly. People on Reddit are saying chrome's position has reversed but I don't have a link. Works in Opera already if you have gstreamer's opus plugin, and they've apparently said they'll ship it.

The chrome bug just changed from WontFix to Available.

The article mentions that Skype was a party to the standardization process, and hence Microsoft by association. So there's a small reason to hope.

While MS might not take full advantage of it, IE 10 will have silent updates. I would hope that would mean they drop the monolithic update strategy.
