I actually downloaded and gave IE 8 beta a try. It was fine until I found a bug where when right clicking on text/image links, it crashes my IE everytime. As well as the Forum Jump no longer work unless I use one of the new features called Compatibility View and view as IE7 again.

Disappointing but then again its microsoft what can i expect.
I've also written a small review about it if anyone's interested

I KNOW you guys are probably thinking, what a moron i am to test out beta releases from Microsoft but....curiosity made me!!! :rolleyes:

Did you see that Google is coming out with a new broswer? It's called Chrome! I Hate every version of IE.
 
Darkmobulus, nice review.
Just one Qn. Does the ie8 installation override the older versions specifically ie7.
 
turbotec, no it doesn't look too different, just a few more buttons here and there and the accelerator thing pop up like the image resizing toolbar when you mouse over. I can only see minor changes

Bozoclown, i'm not sure about this one i can only assume so. I read from somewhere someone said that if you have Vista, IE7 is the default so removing IE8 will automatically roll you back to IE7. XP is different. Can someone confirm this? :)
 
I tried the beta and it crashed on numerous occasion, hence that why its still in beta LOL
 
IE is for n00bs, so you gotta have one to screw around with whenever your site targets n00bs.

But totally, Firefox FTW
 
I stopped at ie 6 and switch to FF.Never touched IE since...and from what I see I made the right choice.
