Our sources at Digg: http://www.digg.com/microsoft/Internet_Explorer_8_passes_ACID2_test have found out how IE8 is passing the Acid2 Test:

if( ACID2 == TRUE)
useFakeSmileyRender();
else
useNormalCrappyCSSParser();

This is not true (we assume but nothing is certain with Microsoft) but it made us laugh a little. Is intresting to point that all the comments on the Digg entry are from Web Developers fainting, cheering and celebrating IE8 announcment of compliance. Ei: “Wow, a story about Microsoft and Internet Explorer and most all of the comments in here are positive? I Never thought I’d see that!”

Let us all hope it is true.
