IE8 Standards Mode

Mar 04 2008

Looks like they caved in. Oh well, my previous points still stand: it’ll all depend on how good IE8 implements its standards mode. If that implementation is good, all will be fine. If it’s bad, the opt-in approach would have been better. And I’m still not sure that all the developers yelling “Thank you!” now will be so happy in a few years. We’ll see.

But hey, since they (MS) seem confident about this, I assume IE8 will rock.

And you know what would be awesome: support Firefox extensions in IE. Without the memory leaks. I know, that won’t happen, but I’d dump Firefox for it, I think.

    I think the people that are extremely happy with this news will be extremely disappointed when IE 8 is released. Unless that release will only happen when it’s working absolutely 100% correct.

    Firefox plugins in IE would be awesome, but I still prefer the default Firefox 2 theme over the IE 7 clutter.
