IE 8 is known to have problems displaying pages which were perfect with earlier versions of IE. Leave it to Microsoft! Then they wonder why vast hordes have not run out to buy a Windows 7 upgrade which forces you to use IE 8. (Actually, you can also use Firefox, Safari, Opera, or Chrome.) And corporate/govt America is moving slowly toward Win 7 for the self-same reason. The hillsides are dotted with home-grown internal web applications which happen to be mission-critical to the operation. I'm sure this is true in other countries as well... Ben Myers

Ben Myers So...if they try to become more standards-compliant, they get righteous indignation from people whose web applications aren't standards-compliant. And if they retain backwards compatibility, they get righteous indignation from people who complain that they're not more standards compliant. For people who enjoy raging against the machine, this is a win-win. Daddy
