This is a change that rings throughout all the fiefdoms of Nerdland!
In a post on the IEBlog (I got there from theRegister), Dean Hachamovitch posts:
We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can. This decision is a change from what we’ve posted previously.
This is good.
But now we’re done with that, take a look at the IEBlog. It’s good!
They are posting frequently, they use nice images, and what they post is actually interesting. I’m adding it to my NetVibes.
