+-   IE8 breaks web standards promise on Friday August 29 2008, @09:44AM

An anonymous reader writes "An article in The Register tells the story of how Microsoft's interoperability promise for IE8 was broken in less than six months. In March, Microsoft announced that their upcoming Internet Explorer 8 would: use its most standards compliant mode, IE8 Standards, as the default. Note the last word: default. Microsoft argued that, in light of their newly published interoperability principles, it was the right thing to do. This declaration heralded an about-face and was widely praised by the web standards community; people were stunned and delighted by Microsoft's promise. This week, the promise was broken."
