Microsoft Insists IE7 is Standards Compliant

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the believe-when-it-renders-stuff-right dept.

ReadWriteWeb writes "Microsoft's Chris Wilson, the Group Program Manager for IE addresses the issue of whether IE7 is CSS and Web standards compliant. Last week a Slashdot post claimed that IE7 was basically non-compliant with CSS standards. But Chris Wilson says that isn't true and that standards improvements is a big part of IE7. He admits that there were a ton of bugs from IE6 that have caused web developers a lot of pain, but says that IE7 will address those and be standards compliant. He goes as far to say that IE7 supports Web standards even at the expense of more backwards compatibility."

    Guaranteed, 100%, that IE7 will be less standards-compliant than either Firefox or Opera.

    Question is, do they use Acid for measurement?

    No, but the design team dropped a few tabs.

    For example, a Slashdotter got a girlfriend, that's proof that anything is possible.
