Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.
Educated interaction designer but the latest two years I have been dedicated to web design and developing. I like: colours (especially purple), cities, temples, warm days, dark nights, electronic music, walking long distances, all forms of art and design, Apple products, chocolate, tea, coffe with milk, gin and tonic... with lime.

Found on Internet Explorer 8's home page:
"Now you can quickly display websites that were designed for older browsers. Simply press the new Compatibility View button if you see display problems on a website like misaligned text, images, or text boxes. It's located next to the Refresh button on the Address Bar." Link to this article
So... if a site is, what Microsoft calls "not up-to-date", you can switch back to Explorer 7's rendering engine. You can also keep a list of which sites that should always open as IE7 instead. What does this say about how good IE8 is at rendering modern web sites?
Really now; all versions of Internet Explorer should have a Compatibility button that automatically opens Firefox instead.
