[dba-Tech] Microsoft is now helping to build and improve Webit

In a bit of a turn around Microsoft has decided to support Webkit and has
actually added a series of touch capabilities to product.

Quote: "...The contribution comes not long after Redmond encouraged Web
developers to remember Internet Explorer and not assume that WebKit is the
only rendering engine that's used on the mobile, touch-oriented Web..."

So many web tech developers have abandoned developing in Internet Explorer,
all together (less than 15 percent of developers now admit to supporting IE)
that even the MS management have started to realize that if they want IE to
survive and they and other browsers just have to start following industry
standards. Better late than never to join the W3C choir.
