In a public effort to encourage Microsoft to add as much CSS 2 support as possible as its developers embark on IE7, Håkon Wium Lie (CTO of Opera Software and the father of CSS) and the Web Standards Project have begun the development of a test suite, known as “Acid2.”

To ensure that IE 7 does not become another failed promise, the Web community will issue a challenge to Microsoft. We will produce a test page, code-named Acid2, that will actively use features Web designers crave, such as fixed positioning of elements.

You may know this, you may not, but Longhorn has a Downloads Manager so you can keep your eyes open and look for it in the near future.

A DL manager and RSS reader are both planned for IE7.

A DL manager and RSS reader are both planned for IE7.

Will the RSS reader be integrated into IE, like Firefox? Or will it be a standalone RSS reader I wonder?
