  Microsoft breaks IE8 interoperability promise
Time: 00:36 EST/05:36 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

In March, Microsoft announced that their upcoming Internet Explorer 8 would: "use its most standards compliant mode, IE8 Standards, as the default."

Note the last word: default. Microsoft argued that, in light of their newly published interoperability principles, it was the right thing to do. This declaration heralded an about-face and was widely praised by the web standards community; people were stunned and delighted by Microsoft's promise.

This week, the promise was broken. It lasted less than six months. Now that Internet Explorer IE8 beta 2 is released, we know that many, if not most, pages viewed in IE8 will not be shown in standards mode by default. The dirty secret is buried deep down in the Compatibility view configuration panel, where the Display intranet sites in Compatibility View box is checked by default. Thus, by default, intranet pages are not viewed in standards mode.
