I agree. Considering most people with IE will be regular computer users and not power users, I can see their questions being downvoted to oblivion and their questions closed.

I consider myself a power user and I already have one account that was "suspended" due to too many downvoted questions of mine.

Absolutely. Given it's a site for programming questions, I would tend to assume that end-user questions would not do well at all.

Perhaps this is why the article mentions using SO for Web Developer support and not end-user support?

The topics being moved to stack overflow are "web development with IE" not "IE web users".

Which is basically what was happening already. Like the article says, over 40k questions are already asked and answered on stack.
