IE8 to follow web standards by default

WTF?!

"Microsoft is to develop IE8 so that it follows web standards by default and will retain a controversial mode switching proposal."

It's so annoying as a web systems developer to have to add in extra hacks to make things look the same in a MS browser as they do in REAL browsers!

Having said that, I think I may start adopting the attitude towards MS users that Geoff Mackenzie has
