There’s been one nagging question about Internet Explorer (IE) 8 about which I can’t stop wondering: Once it finally ships, will it break the Web?
It’s not just because I’m an unabashed Microsoft skeptic that I am puzzling over this. It’s 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?
