IE 7 to be compatible?
This story came out a few days ago, but I wanted to get it up here. C|Net posted an article about Microsoft's planned Internet Explorer 7 that discloses that they are planning to make it more standards-compliant.

Illustrator will replace Freehand. Dreamweaver will replace GoLive. Acrobat/PDF integration will become tighter everywhere. Flash will certainly stay, but I'm curious to see how it is integrated. I think ColdFusion will become the server piece that Adobe has always needed to really make PDF forms work on the web.
