IE8 browser will be fully compatible with Web page standards
|
<br />According to foreign media reports, in order to prove that its commitment to software interoperability is not a sudden whim, Microsoft announced on Monday that it will change the development plan of the new version of Internet Explorer browser to make it more friendly to network standards. Microsoft said that standards-compliant mode will become the default rendering engine for IE8. Microsoft previously stated that IE8 has passed the Acid2 rendering test. "We believe it's important to walk the talk," Microsoft group manager Dean Hachamovitch said in a blog post. "By making standards-compliant mode the default rendering engine for IE8, we are demonstrating our commitment to interoperability." According to Microsoft's plan, IE8 will include three rendering modes: the newly added standard compatibility mode, the IE7 rendering mode, and a mode for displaying old versions of websites. Since Microsoft changed the default rendering engine of IE8, websites that need IE8 to use the IE7 rendering engine need to add a tag in their code. Microsoft acknowledged that legal considerations also played a role in making the change. Microsoft's chief legal counsel Brad Smith said in a statement: "Although there is currently no law that stipulates which mode should be the default rendering engine for browsers, this move will undoubtedly help us avoid potential legal and regulatory troubles." At the end of last year, browser developer Opera filed a lawsuit with the European Union, accusing Microsoft's browser of not supporting common network standards. Just last week, Microsoft was again fined a huge sum for not fully implementing a 2004 EU antitrust ruling. So far, Microsoft has not disclosed when the official version of IE8 will be launched, but the Beta version will be released in the first half of this year. |
