Microsoft breaks IE8 interoperability promise

This declaration heralded an about-face and was widely praised by the web standards community; people were stunned and delighted by Microsoft's promise.This week, the promise was broken. It lasted less than six months. Now that Internet Explorer IE8 beta 2 is released, we know that many, if not most, pages viewed in IE8 will not be shown in standards mode by default.
