Thanks for the screenshot, it looks a lot like IE7.
But hopefully its better than IE7, what i want from a browser is something fully custumizable, like IE6.
Though the tabed browsing looks pretty good and also that its easy to open a new one (mouseclick).
Still for now I will stay with Firefox and IE6.

worked fine for me - pretty nice browser and you can really notice the difference in the speeds and the rendering - look like Microsoft are finally giving the people what they want…

If anybody is trying IE8 would recommend that they do so within VMWare or some other virtualisation tool (like Paralels for Mac).

Installed the *beta* (yes I was asking for trouble) on Windows Vista with no end of problems. Thankfully the System restore feature in Vista let me (eventually) roll back the state to about 2 weeks ago with no data lost.
