Whether IE8 complies with Web standards

Compatibility is one of the hottest topics around IE 8. Dean spent a little time on this issue and explained it from the market perspective rather than the developer perspective. He tested it on different browsers to demonstrate its CSS standard compatibility. Of course, according to him, IE 8 is the best.

Of course I agree with Dean's view on the Web: "The standards are incredibly complex" and "we are working on standards ". I expect Internet Explorer 8 to be a watershed for Microsoft products. But I also agree with the problem observed by eWEEK's colleague Jim Rapoza, who wrote:

"Although IE 8 is worth upgrading for current IE users, it is questionable whether those users of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Opera will switch to IE. Since the first release of IE 8 beta, the Web browser industry has become particularly eye-catching. All IE competitors have released new versions, and a brand new competitor, Google Chrome, has emerged. In fact, IE 8 is in the modern Web browser environment, but still lags behind other competitors, so recent upgrades have been more active and frequent ."

Of course, this is not mentioned in Dean's keynote. In some ways, IE 8 is somewhat outdated, but it is still released. Of course, it has a big improvement over IE 7: IE 7 is like a half-baked pie, While IE 8 is just a hard-skin bread filled with delicious cream, but other bakers are busy, and some have better recipes.
