Internet Explorer Beta 2 Released!
Not sure how many got the email or anything. But the site is up with the newest version for download.
Internet Explorer 8: Worldwide sites
Already installed it on mine. Looks good. I like it. Sites render good. Responsive. A good improvement from Ie7. I wouldnt suggest it to those who are not familiar with Betas and how they work though.
Cheers,
Mak

Just downloaded it for Vista...after creating a restore point of course. If you never see me again you know what happened....LOL
Addendum:
....and uninstalled it again...most things worked except Google Toolbar but it blanked out McAfee Security Center so couldn't keep it.
I'll wait until it's final.

I like it. I think it is by far the best version of IE yet. I have had 1 crash. I have had 1 tab crash which was recovered immediately. I cant wait to see them get Java working better and to finally beat out FF.

I watched the 20 minute video, but there's nothing in the new accelerator list or other features that I'd really use. I'll be sticking with Maxthon 1 till it stops working probably. I only really use IE7 by accident when I hit a shortcut before Maxthon is running (one of the Vista bugs - it can't default to Max if it's not already running !), and the way I use it there probably wouldn't be any benefit to using 8 over 7, at least not until all the bugs have been fixed.

That's real annoying. Had the same problem with internet explorer 7 until mcafee decided to make its product compatible
