Microsoft expands support for web standards.
Few weeks ago, I have posted an article regarding a complaint filed at European Commission against Microsoft by the Opera community, to force Microsoft to support open Web standards in its Web browser, Internet Explorer. (Will Microsoft be forced to make IE standard compliant?)
It turns out after the press release 5 days ago, that Microsoft’s new version of IE will be standard compliant. I really can’t wait to see it live kicking in action. This is not because I will use it, because I won’t, this is because I hope that this will make my work, and any other web developer’s work a lot easier, as building a cross-browser website will be more efficient and less time consuming, so our productivity will instantly rise a bit.
Cheers!

It is nice that they updated the website and added a download link for it. They state it is meant for web developers only until later. I use a macintosh, and there is no kit for it, but some friends have reported that Microsoft’s site looks like crap under IE 8 beta.
I am really glad about this.
