Theres been one nagging question about Internet Explorer (IE) 8 about which I cant stop wondering: Once it finally ships, will it break the Web?
Its not just because Im an unabashed Microsoft skeptic that I am puzzling over this. Its also because right up until Microsoft decided to go whole-hog and as many developers and customers wanted by making super-standards mode the IE 8 default, Microsoft officials claimed that going the full-fledged standards route would break the Web. What, if anything, changed, making Microsoft willing to assume that risk?
