Update on Standards and CSS in IE7

Posted by Hemos on from the good-to-know dept.

brajesh writes "Chris Wilson has posted on IEBlog about the Standards and CSS in IE7. According to the post, "In IE7, we will fix as many of the worst bugs that web developers hit as we can, and we will add the critical most-requested features from the standards as well. Though you won't see (most of) these until Beta 2". Further,"we will not pass this (Acid2 browse) test when IE7 ships.""

    I think we will make a lot of progress against that in IE7 through our goal of removing the worst painful bugs that make our platform difficult to use for web developers.

    However, all of the other painful bugs for everyone else will remain in place.

    Ballmer: Before your execution, you will join me at a ceremony that will make this code base operational. No web developer will dare oppose the Emperor now.

    Linus: The more you tighten your integration with the operating system, Ballmer, the more exploits will slip through your firewall.

    IE7 passes the Acid test, as in you need to be on LSD to use it.

    no spyware was installed nor prompted to be installed

    If there was no prompt, how do you know nothing was installed?
