Hurrah! IE8 to be Standards Compliant by Default

@7:58

According to a recent post in the IE8 blog, IE8 will be in standards compliant mode by default.

"We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can."

This is a change from the previous thinking whereby web developers would have to explicitly opt-in to make IE8 render in standards mode. Thank God they've changed it to be default. IE8 is shaping up to be a good browser for web developers, let's hope the improvements keep coming and maybe, just maybe, websites won't need to be hacked to render correctly in IE8.
