I've just been around a bunch of machines in our office and they all appear to have the IE Developer toolbar installed. This doesn't make sense for a lot of them. No-one appears to consciously remember loading it. I'm wondering if Microsoft pushed it along with a windows update at some point?

This is a development shop so having some machines with it makes sense. My own machine I know I've installed it on for example. I'm just struggling to find a machine without it to do some testing.

There's nothing new about that. It has been part of IE8 since day 1, replacing the separate Developer Toolbar they had for IE6 and IE7.

Consequently, you can't find a machine with IE8, but without the developer tools; it's no longer something that's installed separately.

Well that explains a thing or two! Now all I need to do is ask some questions about default rendering mode. – Colin Newell Jul 28 '10 at 11:51
@Colin: The IE team has a complete flow chart on blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/03/02/… for that. – Michael Madsen Jul 28 '10 at 12:02
Thanks for that. – Colin Newell Jul 28 '10 at 12:13
