images/news/ie.jpgThe IE team has been very hard at work on IE 8 for the past several months and they hit a huge milestone last Friday evening. The IE dev team checked in a bunch of code that included several new features implemented in the core rendering engine that enable IE to pass the ACID 2 test! This is great news for web developers: IE 8 is going to be our most standards compliant browser to date. Passing ACID 2 is really a combined side effect of all the new features that have been developed for IE 8.

Hmmm, a beta in the first half of 2008. That means that we should see the RTM of IE8 about November...of 2009. That is considering that they don't get sidetracked and have to scrap the whole thing and start over. But seriously, I do hope the IE team learns a few things from IE7 and builds in a little more flexibility (options) that are not found in IE7. One such thing would be to place the tabs at the bottom of the browser instead of only the top. People with bifocals will understand this. Also, compliant doesn't automatically mean usable. I do hope it is worth the wait...talker.
