As Microsoft plans to offer another public beta of IE8 at the start of 2009, Internet Explorer's Senior Product Manager, James Pratt, explains to Zeta how IE8's 'standards mode' will tackle web standards compliancy.
Microsoft wants to deliver the most secure and reliable version of Internet Explorer, Pratt says: "Our goals are to create a faster, easier web browsing experience for the things users do every day on the web."
Microsoft is demonstrating its commitment to interoperability and web standards by releasing IE8 with standards mode as the default rendering mode.
Pratt says: "We want to deliver a big step forward in real-world interoperability for developers - driving towards the ideal of 'write once, run anywhere', and standards support is at the core of our approach."
There was a gap of over five years between IE6 and IE7, Pratt comments: "We are deliberate in our approach to releasing new products and do so in a responsible manner that helps ensure that the next version of Internet Explorer is safe and reliable."
