Microsoft has changed their stance and now says that Internet Explorer 8 will render pages in standards mode by default, and developers can use the previously announced X-UA-Compatible header to enable the IE7 compatibility mode. Previously it was the other way around, which was just retarded.
This is the best news I’ve heard all day.

Best news of my day, too
This really is a big change for Microsoft. It seems to me they may start to actually make IE a decent browser… sort of earn their users with a quality browser rather than integrating it into an OS and trapping people to use it that way.
Should be interesting for the browser market.
