"As a team, we've spent the last year heads down working hard on IE8. Last week, we achieved an important milestone that should interest web developers. Internet Explorer 8 now renders the 'Acid2 Face' correctly in IE8 standards mode." Insert freezing and hell joke.

Sorry if i'm repeating as I've not read all the comments, but the article makes a big point of how " Internet Explorer 8 is to support the right set of standards". The argument being that there has been a lot of work by web designers getting IE6 to render correctly and they don't want to break that.
I'm no web developer so please can someone tell me how true this is? Are there sites that would break? I always imagined sites were written to the standards and a "if browser=MSIE" to correct any major issues?
