Finally - “Microsoft backs down” as Wired puts it. My own opinion - I’ll believe it when I see it. My skeptical money is that what M$ will end up calling compliance will be something different from actual compliance as developers need to actually utilize cross-browser standardization.
As I’ve gotten more freelance and development work this has been a bigger issue - to make sites consistently look good across browsers - and IE and CSS are the biggest pain to deal with - as most developers will tell you.
As an aside, to see the size of this issue in the web developer world - last I looked, the top dugg story in the last 365 days was “digg this if you’re tired of IE costing you money”.
