IE8 Beta 1

It’s, like, getting up to speed with the times.

Download here and here. Looks like it will overwrite IE7 (anybody verify this?) so I’m holding off until I get a VM on my comp at work. I’ll let you all explore the new freshiness, but of course full CSS 2.1 support is what I’m stoked about.

Now if only we could get rid of that 7 year old sibling…

Update: From SitePoint

And finally, insofar as installing it, the best plan is to download one of the IE compatibility virtual machines and upgrade it to IE8. It definitely touches alot of deep, system type things so I wouldn’t consider running it on a production box. Now, if I can catch anyone on the IE team here, I’ll put a bug in their ear about distributing a VM for IE8.
