Microsoft urges developers to tag sites for IE8

,----[ Quote ]
| According to Microsoft, developers can render sites with an IE 7 mode using 
| this code: 
| 
| <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
| 
| "We are encouraging site administrators to get their sites ready now for 
| broad adoption of Internet Explorer 8, as there will be a beta release in the 
| third quarter of this year targeted for all consumers," MacKechnie wrote.

Big ego. What a serve. Mighty Microsoft wants its own code in each page, all
because it chose to play dirty and destroy competition.

IE is "a cancer on the Web" (famous phrase), or as Linonut puts it, "Microsoft
is a cancer."
