The result was Speedy Close, a merge request does not fall under the purview of AFD, use WP:MERGE instead.
First, "Version targeting" is a fairly vague term that could apply to any piece of software that implements this kind of behavior. Second, Microsoft relented and will be making IE8 default to the highest level of standards support it is capable of, so version targeting is not nearly so big an issue any more. Third, though the article presents more-or-less factually correct background information, no references are provided to back it up.
I suggest deleting this article entirely, and putting a rewritten, carefully referenced summary of the issue into the Internet Explorer 8 article if desired. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Considering Microsoft's turnaround, I have no objection to merging/rewriting the content of this article into the IE8 article. dimo414 (talk) 22:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC) (Article Creator)[reply]
