I agree IE became an object of scorn in the past. Are there any clues yet which show IE11 will be different regarding standards and compatibility?

- SideburnsOfDoom 13y agoIE versions have rapidly become dated compared to the rapid-release leading edge of Chrome and Firefox, so IMHO the most representative comparison would be in the middle of the slower IE release cycle, maybe 3-6 months after launch when Chrome and Firefox have been updated a few times. But there are some clues, yes. Firstly IE versions from 7 to 10 have improved a lot each time. (or sucked less if you look at it that way). IE11 should continue this trend. Secondly the IE release cycle is getting shorter. Not as much as Firefox or Chrome, but there is some response to this pressure. Also, it's not like the IE11 feature set is unknown at this point.
