Microsoft set to release IE8 in first half of 2008,passes Acid2 test

Hi,

Two days ago Microsoft announced Wednesday it has passed an early milestone for the next version of its iconic Internet Explorer. An early version of the pre-beta code for IE 8.0 has successfully passed the so-called Acid2 browser compatibility tests

IE8, the next upgrade to Microsoft's browser, passes the Web Standards Project's Acid2 test, according to Dean Hachamovitch, the IE group's general manager.

Hachamovitch also said - We're listening to the feedback about IE, and at the same time, we are committed to responsible disclosure and setting expectations properly.

IE8 is expected to come out in the first half of the next year. Way to go IE team.
