Some good news then, hopefully it'll make a difference.

Microsoft make me laugh, i honestly dont see how they do so well, security problems, to be fair, in this day and age, and considering they are the bigest company in the world, they should be able to make something better against hackers then IE is.

Why would it be a good thing?

Microsoft only believe in one standard, their own. :) So I wouldn't hold your breath about compliance with W3C (not that I'd necessarily say that was a bad thing anyway).

It would be nice, though if they did, I can envision a lot more hacks and workarounds being needed to compensate, though hopefully they'll keep the IE conditional statements in to help that.

Looks like a Service Pack 3 is on the cards as well, not bad considering XP was only supposed to have the one, if I remember from what Tyla said?

Hopefully as well as fixing the security issues, they'll also tackle accessibility and W3C standards problems.
