Even Microsoft Uses IE Hacks

Well this is interesting, if you are a person who is somehow related to web, who spend ridiculous amount of time fixing CSS & XHTML that should work perfectly in IE6, IE7 then i guess this is an interesting discovery.

Microsoft recently revamped there windows website with a new layout to tell  the world “What is windows Live?” so instead of checking out windows live i said why not check out how Microsoft writes its markup and what i found was a bit disturbing, on the top of the page was a css hack to load a separate style sheet for IE7 as the original style sheet was not compatible with IE7.

<!–[if IE 7]><link rel=”Stylesheet” href=”Framework/styles/base_ie.css” /><![endif]–>

    Hahah. That’s funny, man! Even Microsoft folks are using hacks for their own IE! Lol. You found a very good catch!

    So what’s wrong in that? Atleast they are making it workable for latest versions?
