What did previous versions of IE score?

I'm not sure. I heard it was around 12. Anyone still running IE7 want to check it?

Acid3 Test

It should look like this when finished:

My IE7 on XP ran Acid3 and it looked like this:

Firefox 3 on both Windows and Mac OSX scored 71, and was missing the colors on the blocks.

Safari scored 100 and looked correct.

Depends on what the goal of the dev team was. Sure if they were looking to be good followers of an independent standard then that’s what it “should” look like. But MS has never had that goal, they want to own the default standards by having the product most people use with slight compatibility problems with competing products. So theirs “should” look like it does. MS isn’t about playing well with others.
