browser, the Redmond company has made available a feature called
Compatibility View that uses the engine of Internet Explorer 7. The
user can enable this option when surfing a website with errors

Apple.com Live.com, MSN.com and Microsoft.com same. Last month, the
publication of the Release Candidate of Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft
has proposed to download a list of sites in question for users of

For now, it appears that Microsoft has decided not to activate the
compatibility mode by default, or embed the list of sites not
identified by the testers. Here is the official description of the
list:
