James Bennett talks again about X-UA-Compatible (Microsoft’s IE8 version targeting mechanisim). This one is funny, and probably accurate — but it still doesn’t make me get that up in arms over the fact that I have to add a meta tag to my documents. Even if I have to do something similar again in a few years with MS releases IE9, I’m not that upset about it. Why? One, because getting up set isn’t going to change anything, and two, because in the time it takes people to write ALA articles about this stuff, I could re-jigger 150 sites for IE8 and move on with my life. To put it bluntly: I disagree with with MS is doing, here, but not passionately enough for me to spend a lot of time fretting over it.

Seems like you’re fretting over it enough by not fretting. Those were the ones I could find, anyway.

Your first link has nothing to do with IE8 and version targeting. If every single one of the others I say “I don’t see why this is a big deal.” How is that fretting? I’m trying to make the point that while I don’t really agree wit this, the world is not coming to an end. How is that fretting?
