Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Pass Acid2 Test

After several versions of Internet Explorer, version 8.0 (still in development) passes Acid2 test. IE8 now renders the "Acid2 Face" correctly in IE8 standards mode. http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/12/19/internet-explorer-8-and-acid2-a-milestone.aspx

What is Acid2?
Acid2 is a test suite published and promoted by the Web Standards Project to identify web page rendering flaws in browsers and authoring tools. Acid2 was released on April 12, 2005. It has been developed in the spirit of the Acid1 test from 1997. The Acid tests test many features on a single page and report test results graphically.

Showing the Acid2 page correctly is a good indication of being standards compliant. Acid2 is just one of the many standards around.
