IE8 development: Microsoft should learn from Apple, Mozilla | |
|
||
| Time: 00:18 EST/05:18 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Internet Explorer 8 is set to be Microsoft's most standards compliant browser ever. After originally stating that IE8 would default to the same noncompliant behavior exhibited by IE7, Microsoft relented and plumped for standard-by-default. The first beta of IE8 was released in March and it did indeed default to standards compliance. Web developers have been clamouring for standards compliance for a long time; IE is a long way behind the competition, requiring considerable hacks and workarounds to get pages working properly. IE8 should make things a lot better—but it will still fall far short of the standards set by Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Some of these problems are technical, but others are cultural. Where the other browser developers are open and communicative, Microsoft is still leaving web developers in the dark. | ||

Yea, me and my friends are gonna gather around my basement 22" screen and hit refresh until the download link appears. My mommy will be baking some milk and cookies for the occasion too.
The truth is out there... |

#3: Wow, that was quite a scientific study, and based upon it, I just downloaded Opera.

#4: Good for you! The more people we get off of IE, the better the entire Internet as a collective will be. I'm glad that you recognized the inferiority of IE and have moved beyond it's limitations.

| #6: Just as long as we all drink from the non-IE glass, we're all richer. Thank you for rejecting Microsoft and embracing real standards compliance, security and interoperability. |

| #13: Yep. Even watching an AW page load taking forever, or an AW page load timing out is awesome under FF3. |

| Latch, thats not a sugar cube. For one thing, its not shaped like a cube. For another thing, there's two of them. |
