What I am saying is that IE should be eliminating the need for both conditional comments and hacks. I'm not saying to take their functionality away... it's a nice option to have, just stop making IE so inconsistent with other browsers.
I'll probably be using conditional comments for the next five years, and everytime I use them I think to myself, this would just be easier if IE worked the same as FF/Opera/Safari.

what do you mean by conditional comments? It seems to me, that css hacks are not really a good thing since they are called hacks. The language should just work regardless of browser or computer. I think thats what standards are for aren't they? So that the language is standard for everyone?? Making it easier to maintain for future proof?

it's nice to hear that the IE team is starting to take a stand agains
the problems their buggy software created.
It sounds more like they are taking a stand against the designers who tried to work around those buggy problems. They aren't cleaning up their own act, just making it harder to hack around them. IE 7 still has some of the quirky implementations that make older versions of IE so difficult to design for.
The worst part is that they are condeming hacks, but promoting conditional comments. This is not the way to go! They should be eliminating the need for conditional comments entirely.
