IE 5.5 Beats IE6 and IE7 On Acid 3
Steven Noonan sends us to a page where he is collecting and updating results for various browsers on the newly released Acid 3 test. No browser yet scores 100 on this test. (We discussed Acid 3 when it came out.) He writes, "It's not surprising that Internet Explorer is losing to every other modern browser, but how did IE 5.5 beat IE 6.0 and 7.0?" All of the IE versions score below 20 on Acid 3.
My undergrad (and I think this is the way with most UK institutions) graded:
70+ First Class
60+ Upper Second
50+ Lower Second
40+ Third
30+ Pass
29- Fail
But then again, 10% of people got firsts, so I guess it's a little harder than the US (or we're stupider... nah)
