IE 8 PASSES ACID2 TEST - WTF!?!
15th January 2008
We all know that IE 7 made strides to actually becoming a decent standards complient browser. Although some bugs still remain it is alot nicer and more predictable to work with than IE 6, however microsofts reputation for flouting industry standards and creating their own means that this is still a big shock.
As of the recent Beta release of IE 8 the default rendering mode actually passes the Acid2 standards test! This is a a giant leap forward for IE development team as it places them in the same league as Opera and it's main rival FireFox (whose version 3 Beta also passed).
Looks like the future of web development might just have a smily face on it!
