On Controlling the Weather…

Internet Explorer 8 will now run in IE8-standards mode by default.
No wonder it’s been so cold here the past couple of days…

Kudos to the IE team for turning the browser around after the firestorm of disagreement from the web development community, and further kudos to whoever decided that IE8 needed to fall in line with MS’s new interoperability principles.

Now, if only people would adopt IE8 as quickly as Firefox users adopt new versions (and if only IE8 were available on more platforms than just XP and Vista), web development would become much less of a headache.

Who wants to take bets on IE being the last browser to pass Acid 3, too?
