Story: IE7 to fail standards test

I believe Opera manages to pass the test as one of the few browsers out there.
I'm sure the Mozilla Community is working on passing the test sooner or later; but I believe that after so many years of silence on the Internet Explorer field, Microsoft is now missing the boat alltogether by setting the bars too low for themselves with a new release of Internet Explorer. This might prove to be a painful mistake in the long run for Microsoft, looking back at how lacking in standards compliance IE5 and 6 were, and are. Mozilla is faring better in that respect, even if their browsers don't completely pass the Acid tests yet - because they have advanced much quicker over the past years with standards compliance leading their development towards a better browsing experience just like Opera.
