On the other hand, if IE8 is trying to be more standards compliant,
things may not be quite so bad. I (and several of the libraries I
support) use Mozilla Firefox as a primary browser. Firefox is supposed
to be standards-compliant. I very rarely have problems viewing web
sites and only very infrequently need to switch to the IE browser
engine. If IE8 is standards compliant, browsing with it should be no
worse than with Firefox or other standards-complaint browsers out
there. HOWEVER, I can see a big problem with hardware devices that have
web servers built in (printers, copiers, managed switches, etc.). Many
of these devices require IE; some of the older ones even will require
specific versions of IE. These devices may or may not be updated by the
manufacturer. Hmmm....<br>
