Internet Explorer 8 will be standard compliants by default
This is a good news because we as a web developer has much headache during development, bug fixing on web applications if we face this ugly, stubborn browser. Finaly, Internet Explorer 8 will be standard compliants by default. Microsoft do this to get the interoperability principles work.
We hope that web development will be smooth across various browser especially for the upcoming Internet Explorer. We all know that Internet Explorer is the major browser from now on (but I wish that someday, Firefox will take over IE ;)) . You can see the reason why you should use Firefox instead IE here.
