Microsoft’s choice to not add spell checking to IE is an interesting reflection of how they want to position the browser as a component of the Windows ecosystem, rather then a platform (and possibly some kind of internal dispute - I can't imagine the IE 8 team not thinking this was a good feature to add). As far as I can tell, there is no plan to add this to IE 8. There are, of course, 3rd-party alternatives, but still. Nate and Paula – Thanks for the feedback.

Maybe never? Seems to me that Microsoft's strategy to keep Office licensing alive is deny browser functionality. Take spellchecking. Clearly not the role of a browser. One must spellcheck in Word.

I couldn't believe that even in 2007 I can't get the normal editing features in Flock/FireFox.
