Standards compliance with IE8 - will this web developer's Utopian paradise ever be realised?

I got an email from Microsoft the other day regarding Internet Explorer 8 which is about to be released in August. Now I know not a lot of people are not the biggest fan of Microsoft, however I *think* they have finally done something intelligent in regards to this web browser.

They have *apparently* have released it in a "default rending mode" which will make "real improvements in standards compliance" (note the quote, unquote). They've also bundled it up with some other cool features.

Microsoft adds "IE8 will address many pain points especially for developers and designers helping them drive toward the ideal of “write once, run anywhere” and freeing up more time to innovate vs modify content for different browsers.".

Truly I am praying to the internet gods that this browser will finally solve the issues with web development.
