Microsoft shows IE 8 at Mix

By

Microsoft offered its first public demonstration of Internet Explorer 8 on Wednesday, a prospect that had general manager Dean Hachamovitch struggling to figure out what to cover.

The marketing folks naturally suggested he point to three major advances, but Hatchamovitch disagreed.

“These are developers,” he said he told the marketers. “They can count higher than three.”

So, instead he said he would talk about eight features: CSS 2.1 support, CSS Certification, performance, start of HTML 5 support, new developer tools, activities, Web slices and one he hasn’t named yet.
