IE Team Changes IE8's Default Behavior

Just yesterday, the IE Team announced that they will be changing IE8's default behavior. Instead of the previously decided default of "IE7 Mode", IE8 will default to "IE8 Mode" with the option to switch to IE7 mode with the X-UA-Compatible meta tag. Web developers rejoice!
