REDMOND, Wash. — March 3, 2008 — Consistent with its efforts to promote further interoperability across the Web, Microsoft Corp. is now configuring the settings in Internet Explorer 8, the upcoming version of its browser, to render content — by default — using methods that give top priority to Web standards interoperability.
It seems that the Internet Explorer 8 team heard the collective vomiting of the internet community when it announced that sites will forever render in IE7 mode unless expressly coded to do otherwise.
They’ve overturned that decision and now the burden is on the “developers” that write bad code to at least declare that they’re writing bad code.
Good on Microsoft, this is great.
