IE8 Compatibility mode is it worth anything to future development?

First lets look at why Microsoft introduced this feature into IE8, and in the words of Microsoft.

"In a nutshell, Compatibility View allows content designed for older web browsers to still work well in Internet Explorer 8"

However this is not the case at all.

Microsoft can you get anything right, part 2!!

Well it seems I am on a role today with Microsoft, and after playing with Windows 7 for sometime now. I decided to migrate some settings from Vista, over to Windows 7 so that I could begin to use it more efficently.

But I discovered a flaw that made me laugh. In my previous post on the subject title, I discovered that even the most simplest of things don't get tested when streaming albums over to the Xbox 360.

Now I discovered a Windows easy transfer problem, that just makes that last statement even more so.
