    Internet Explorer 8 takes the Web experience beyond the page and introduces a new way to seamlessly experience the power of the Web whether you are a Web developer writing to standards, or an end user discovering a new online service.

    This beta release is available to everyone, but is primarily for Web developers and designers to test the new tools, layout engine, and programming enhancements.

    Download for XP and Vista: http://www.sizzledcore.com/internet-explorer-8/

    Enjoy! :)

    downloaded and isntalled.

    it's allright don't see nything new but ehh that's M$ for you each revisions includes fixes that should've been in the last.

    I'll say this I like how it antialiases text and how it plays a soft clicking noise after each mouse click.

    EDIT:

    I discovered what as amis. Firefox defaults to the text rendering method of the OS. hence why the text always looked GREAT under linux and subpar in windows.
    in windows enable clear type font, something which SHOULD be enabled by default but isn't. right click dsktop?properties>display>effects>cleartype

    You're welcome guys!

    BTW, as usual, this too sucks! May be because it's still in BETA. This version is so buggy and a big memory hog! I'll wait for the final release now.

    I mean identical to firefox, I wouldn't really use this version unless they had something similar to adblock in firefox.
