Internet Explorer 8

Back to Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer 8.0 was introduced with Windows 7 and available as an upgrade for Windows XP and Vista. IE 8.0 added a slight increase of focus towards Web Standards and was capable of passing the ACID 2 test. While not as compliant as Firefox, Opera, or Safari was upon release it was a slight improvement. A compatibility view feature was introduced to emulate the old IE 7 behavior. Compatability view lists could be downloaded automatically from Microsoft.
