ie8 to pass acid 2 test

Im glad everybody would eventually compete at a somewhat leveled field. altho pre-installation is still kinda "not fair".

It's about time. Not that I'll be using it, though, but it does show that MS is slowly starting to realize that their 90's tactics won't cut it anymore. :)
 
Well, isn't it nice? OK, they are already working over one year on IE8, all other browsers have already passed this test, and users probably have to wait until end of next year until they can use it on their Vista boxes. But still, it's the thought that counts. :D
 
So not only will Microsoft's future touch screen technology "surpass the iPhone" but now their future browser will pass the current standards test...

Good to see Microsoft striving to ensure that the products due a few years from now will just beat the current stuff.
