  1. Visit Internet Explorer 8 Readiness Toolkit Internet Explorer 8 Readiness Toolkit

    Chris Wilson and his team at Microsoft release a "readiness toolkit," for IE 8, which includes (among other things), a beta of the application and a new debugging tool long the lines of Firebug. Nice. As of today, the Web Standards movement is … More

  2. Visit Microsoft changes stance on version targeting default behavior Microsoft changes stance on version targeting default behavior

    > "We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can." So there you have it. This should make a lot of standards-oriented developers happy, as it makes out jobs easier. I *think* this is … More

  3. Visit Eric Meyer: Almost Target Eric Meyer: Almost Target

    Eric shares a story about a time in his days at Mozilla when they were faced with a similar situation to that which led Microsoft towards version targeting. I feel sorry for the guys on the IE team. Having talked to a few of them personally abo… More

  4. Visit The B-List: X-UA-8-Ball The B-List: X-UA-8-Ball

    James Bennett talks again about X-UA-Compatible (Microsoft's IE8 version targeting mechanisim). This one is funny, and probably accurate -- but it still doesn't make me get that up in arms over the fact that I have to add a meta tag to my document… More

    For anyone trying to make sense out of the whole IE8 `X-UA-Compatible` nonsense, James Bennet's explanation is almost certainly the most well-thought out and easy-to-understand one you're going to find. I now have an opinion on this matter. I'm wi… More

  8. Visit IEBlog : Internet Explorer 8 passes Acid2 IEBlog : Internet Explorer 8 passes Acid2

    Wow, very nice. This is impressive. It also makes Opera look very, very silly. So now that all the majors can claim reasonable standard compliancy, can we please get those browser wars started again? :) Congrats, IE8 team!

  9. Visit Molly: Conversation with Bill Gates about IE8 and Microsoft Transparency Molly: Conversation with Bill Gates about IE8 and Microsoft Transparency

    Kudos to Molly for being willing to ask Bill Gates tough questions straight to his face. Personally, I'm less interested in what MS is doing with regards to standards support in IE8 and more interested in what they're doing to improve adoption rat… More
