Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is online :-)

This is AWESOME :-) IE8 Beta 1 is here and it comes with some nice features like

CSS 2.1 Compliance - showing how pages built for Firebox and Safari will work in IE. There is an IE7 compatibility mode that can help with support for older non-compliant code
CSS Certification - test suite for CSS support, contributed 702 test cases for CSS standards body
Performance - good progress towards making IE8 closer in performance to the other popular browsers
HTML 5 - start of support for HTML 5, deeper integration between the browser and AJAX capabilities, support for making web pages network aware (am I online or not)
Developer Tools - integrated develop tools for IE: script debugging, DOM inspection, CSS style tracing
Activities - services linked to raw content on the page, for example link to Live Maps from an address or eBay from a product name. No links in code, XML definition of activity context menus
WebSlices - subscribe to a portion of a Web page, for example a slice of an eBay page, slice of an Amazon page, a slice of Facebook, etc. The site developer adds a bit of markup to make this feature available. Making this specification available through the open standards process

YEEES!
