Internet Explorer 8
On 3/3/2008 Microsoft announced that it was changing Internet Explorer 8 behavior , and will render all sites in a super standards mode unless told not to.
Quote from the Microsoft IE8 Blog:
"We've decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can. This decision is a change from what we've posted previously. Microsoft recently published a set of Interoperability Principles. Thinking about IE8's behavior with these principles in mind, interpreting web content in the most standards compliant way possible is a better thing to do."
This is big news, as older versions of IE (including 7) has had very poor support for web standards like Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and other standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
With IE 8 finally going with web standards, developers will no longer have to use special hacks and other tricks within IE to get there sites to appear to correctly within IE.
this is good news if this makes it to the final released version.
