  Internet Explorer 8 Application Compatibility VPC Image Web Development | (0)

  Alongside with the IE6/IE7 Application Compatibility VPC Images (VPC Hard Disk Image for testing websites on IE on Windows XP SP2), Microsoft now provides an IE8 version.

  IE Conditional comments Web Development | (0)

  When you're a web developer, you always keep running into annoying Internet Explorer bugs, so you need to hack your way around. Now with the IE7 out, a lot of the old CSS hacks don't work anymore, and those that do still work, can't be relied on to work in the future.
