WOW! I never thought I would see the day... Internal builds of Internet Explorer 8 have passed the Acid2 browser standards test. IE6 was the first browser to pass the Acid1 test, but Microsoft has been beaten to the punch on Acid2 by Safari, Konqueror, and a few other minor browsers. Firefox 3 Beta 2 currently passes the test, and it will be released to the public before IE8. This is great news for developers and end users, and I hope that Microsoft continues to pursue standards compliance. Channel 9 has a great video interview with Chris Wilson and others from the IE working group about this milestone.
