This is a drastic reversal of Microsoft’s stated intention to cease developing IE as a standalone product—and one that will have standards advocates biting their fingernails with trepidation.

Or can we finally expect more robust support for such web standards as CSS?

Cancel your summer vacations, folks—we just might have a few months of browser testing ahead of us.
