IE8 will pass the ACID test

Or as Molly put it: Yes Ladies and Gentleman, We Have a Smiley.

From the IEBlog:

… I’m delighted to tell you that on Wednesday, December 12, Internet Explorer correctly rendered the Acid2 page in IE8 standards mode. While supporting the features tested in Acid2 is important for many reasons, it is just one of several milestones for the interoperability, standards compliance, and backwards compatibility that we’re committed to for this release. We will blog more on these topics.

This is most definitely w00t!-worthy. You can also watch an interview about the upcoming compliance of IE8 (requires Silverlight).
