Yes, I promised another PKI posting… but, I wanted to talk about the Internet Explorer 8 and Acid2: A Milestone posting on the IEBlog.
Yes, I realize this is old news. However, I think that this development is a something that deserves just a little more attention. After all, the IE team has taken the stance that IE 8 will follow standards and focus on interoperability. Naturally… my jaw dropped. Can the IE team actually live up to this new fairy tale of a promise? This is a big promise… from Microsoft, who has a habit of “improving upon standards”. While they have some proof of this direction thanks to this posting and a nice little video: Link. RTM for IE 8 is still a long way off…
What are your thoughts? I happen to think very positively about this friendlier stance from MS. Heck, a standards based browser that has a large percentage of the browser installations would make Web development that much easier!
