IE8 passes Acid2 Test and FF3 fails

It is true that nearly all web pages are designed with IE in mind and as such those are rendered perfectly with IE. Still, I have been addicted to Firefox from its very inception irrespective of its shortcomings. While I continue to use IE because some pages as www.anandabazar.com wouldn't open in any other browser, I mostly stick to Firefox.... this addiction will continue throughout my life. Viva la FF.

Who the hell says firefox 3 does not pass the test?! You M$ guys have nothing better to do than to spread FUD! I can see for myself that firefox 3 passes the test.. Whereas i cannot see for myself whether IE8 does it too.. So ill accept that when i can see that for myself.. Till then i urge you to just stfu. And M$ being the best! HA! What a joke.. Some stupid browser _claims_ to pass the acid 2 test after YEARS of having a crap reputation of being the WORST wrt web standards and suddenly it becomes the best! Great!

There is no IE3.

LOL! Anyone can perform the test! *www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/
Is that all you can do? Point out my typos?
I will not believe it until i can have a copy of IE8 beta and test myself. M$ promised us a lot of stuff for Vista too.. But we don't see it anywhere now.
Good for you! But can you believe that FF3 passes the test? No? Even if you test for yourself? Heh..
Just because its bundled with windows and most people don't care to install a separate browser, doesnt make it any better at supporting web standards. (And repeating it twice wont make it better either). I'm sure you agree with me on this. Now don't say you don't care about web standards.. ACID2 test is ALL about web standards only.
Say that IE is the most used browser, ill agree. Say that IE8 passes ACID2, ill believe when its out, or i can have a preview build. But say that FF3 does not pass ACID2, when i can see for myself that it does, that's just crap.

Think Zen.
Dude, please verify your data before you post,
Googling "Firefox 3 Acid test" will give enuf results saying ff3 does indeed pass the test.
Also, check this out.
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2#In_development
It lists FF3 as a Acid2 Compliant browser in development.
Oh n also, it says IE8 doesnt.

Now what to say to this
Poor M$ fanboys.. Living in a dark world.. Cant even google for themselves and see Then what is it? FF3 passes the test, we can see it for ourselves! I dont have to rely on any link to prove that! And then you say IE8 passes it, when i cannot see it for myself

The above two contradicts your original posts. Hence it is FUD. There are numerous articles proving that FF has passed the test.

When someone starts to correct typos, you know they don't have much to say... especially a small and obvious typo like IE3-IE8. And I could be wrong, but there was definitely an IE3 at some point of time...
