You'll have to turn of InPrivate-Browsing and allow the MSXML3 Addon to be executed to achieve the 20/100 result.

I don't know what this discussion is about, even the wikipedia article outlines what the goal of the Acid3 test is. Some people here disable the features tested even when using a "compliant" browser.

I allowed the addon in IE8 but still it only scored 6. You are right though that the authors of the test state that the browser must be in its default state when tested. Whose browser is in the "default" state unless just downloaded and installed? So, the test is meaningless...just a little fun.
