Very rarely do you see a product being launched, that pushes users to the rival's product. The way I see for IE8, this might be a final push for more users to join the Firefox/Chrome/Safari crowd. Was there any difference to IE8 since my last post here? I do not think so.
According to all the news on the web about IE8, it's suppose to be the most standard compliant browser out in the market. That was what it's being "advertised" in the grapevine. Well, how do you explain this wikipedia article stating that the Acid3 test for IE8 is only 20/100? For your information, the Acid3 test is to test the browser's compatibility with the Document Object Model, CSS3 and Javascript standards for browsers.
Another issue with IE8? The IE7 compatibility mode is not really IE7. According to news from the grapevine again, what works in IE7 may not work in the IE7 compatibility mode. IE8 broke Jira, and even the IE7 compatibility mode does not work. So what did the guy do? He downloaded Firefox. No problems at all.
IE8 is suppose to be standards compliant. My question is whose standards is it based on? All the web developers out there is going to curse and swear again. Another weird browser to add to their development woes. IE7, IE7 compatibility mode, and IE8. Thank you very much...
This reminds me of an ad that I was being told about. It speaks for itself:
