Why can't the world be a straight-forward, non-political, friendly place? Damn politics. :)

"The next version of Internet Explorer, IE8, has passed the Acid2 test, which has historically been one of the toughest Web standards and compliance tests to pass... No version of IE has been able to pass the test, while mainstream competing browsers like Opera, and Apple's Safari have managed to be compliant for the last few years. Mozilla's upcoming version 3 of Firefox is also set to pass the Acid 2 test, although the current shipping version of Firefox (version 2) will not."
Good milestone, and about time. But I'll hold the praise until they release (when?), and when they can finally force IE6 users off that horrible version!
