hell just froze over…Internet Exploiter 8 passes ACID2 Test

Hell has frozen over…it would seem that internal builds of the upcoming would appears the upcoming release of Internet Exploiter 8 passes ACID2.  Being standard compliant is great and all, but it doesn’t make any sense if it continues to allow authors to write broken pages.  Even then, standards compliance doesn’t necessarily equate to a quality product.  Opera passed this test almost 2 years ago, and it’s still a crappy browser.

Microsoft only does something when itself benefits, including becoming “compliant” with “standards”.  A new browser war is about to be waged, and it’s probably not gonna be pretty.  Who’s gonna be first casualty?

R.I.P. Opera
