It renders the same in IE10 on Windows 8 as in Chrome on Windows 8 (meaning badly). However, when I press the compatibility view in IE10 it renders "perfectly"
Conclusion: Both are standard compliant, but IE10 is better at rendering bad code then Chrome
I can't make a comparison with older IE's, but why would I want to use an older IE anyway?

This is not true.
Different browsers render different broken HTML in different ways.
You can find broken HTML which renders better in Chrome, Firefox or Opera than IE too.
Also have a look at my other comment:

When you open the source code of the page it says Frontpage, not sure if that was actually used, if so my guess is that Frontpage created a page which is broken, but broken in a way that still displays correctly in IE.

No, you are mistaken.
Broken HTML is rendered differently by different browser (versions).
But HTML5 does specify how HTML5 should be parsed and how broken HTML5 should be handled.
So if someone changes the 'doctype' in that page to a HTML5-doctype then all HTML5 browsers should render it the same.
The advantage of that is that if someone makes mistakes creating a HTML5-page and only checks it with one browser and likes what he/she seems then the result will be the same in all HTML5-browsers.

Nobody is ever going to change the doctype in that page and that was the point in that post. This is not about how browsers handle new broken HTML5 code, it is about how browsers handle ANCIENT broken code.
For that IE has a compatibility view that works very nice and that makes IE a great browser for viewing broken code

Why does Google get so much credit in the technology industry? Why, despite the company's many obvious failings, do many geeks and enthusiasts still hold a somewhat positive view on the all-knowing technology giant? A specific talk at Google I/O this week provides the answer.
OSNews is a sponsor of this year's O'Reilly OSCON in Portland, Oregon, USA. A lucky OSNews reader will win a free three-day pass, including two tutorials days. To win the pass, post a comment on this story saying something about Open Source Software or OSCON. We'll pick a winner at random next week. If you don't have an OSNews account, you may email us your entry. Part of the conference is the 9th annual Open Source Awards, and today the 16th is the deadline for nominations. If you'd like to nominate an outstanding open source contributor, do it here. Read on for more information about OSCON. Update: The 20% discount code for OSNews readers is "OSN."
"Windows is indeed slower than other operating systems in many scenarios, and the gap is worsening." That's one way to start an insider explanation of why Windows' performance isn't up to snuff. Written by someone who actually contributes code to the Windows NT kernel, the comment on Hacker News, later deleted but reposted with permission on Marc Bevand's blog, paints a very dreary picture of the state of Windows development. The root issue? Think of how Linux is developed, and you'll know the answer.
This is one of those news items that's fun to write, fun to read, fun to comment on, and where no one will be able to say anything unkind. It's all just one big ball of awesome fluffiness. TuneTracker, the BeOS radio automation software, has just released something very special: TuneTracker System 5, the first version designed entirely and specifically for Haiku. In fact, it actually includes Haiku in the software package. Better yet, TuneTracker also unveiled several system-in-a-box products - which have Haiku and TuneTracker pre-installed.
Exactly twenty years ago, a document was published that played a huge role in establishing the web as we know it today. Twenty years later, and this simple and straightforward document is proof of an irrefutable fact: while closed technologies can change markets, open technologies can change the world.
Oh multitasking. That staple of computing that got thrown out the window with many modern smartphones. We got some rudimentary thing in its place - but even as multitasking on phone and tablets improves, its user-visible side remains cumbersome. Windows 8 has a neat implementation, and now it's time Android follows in it footsteps.They're here! Whether that excites you or not remains to be seen, but the Galaxy S4, which will most likely become the best selling Android smartphone of the year by a huge margin, has been reviewed by all the major sites, and there's lots of interesting conclusions in there - although I think most of you will get the gist.Nokia has posted its quarterly results for the first quarter of 2013, and just like the quarters that came before, there's not a whole lot of good news in there. The rise in Lumia sales still can't even dream of making up for the sales drop in Symbian phones, and when broken down in versions, the sales figures for Windows Phone 8 Lumias in particular are very disappointing. In North America, Nokia is getting slaughtered.The day has finally come: Google has started shipping Google Glass to the lucky few early adopters. Now that it's shipping, Google has also unveiled a lot more about the API and the specifications of the device itself. While the company had already given out substantial details at earlier occasions, there are still a few surprises here.
Almost exactly three years ago, I wrote about why OSNews was no longer OSNews: the alternative operating system scene had died, and OSNews, too, had to go with the times and move towards reporting on a new wave of operating systems - mobile, and all the repercussions that the explosion of smartphones and tablets have caused. Still, I was wondering something today: why aren't we seeing alternative operating systems on mobile?

That's cool. IE10 is a good browser. Now, IE users will be able to see this site ( http://sewingandembroiderywarehouse.com/embtrb.htm ) in all it's broken glory, since prior versions of IE render it like it was meant to look.
Which makes me wonder: Part of the HTML spec is that browsers do their best to render broken HTML. That site has broken HTML, but IE 7-9 render it correctly. Are they better at rendering bad HTML?
