    You know, for all the hype from MS right now I really do believe that they need to just release IE8 at this point, or stop acting like it is already out. Recently today I had come across some weird bug that is only happening in IE7 and the recommended fix is listed as "download IE8". Please don't take this comment as a bash at Microsoft. I recognize that IE8 has been a great deal of work. I just find it quite odd having it touted as a solution to something when the product is still considered beta.

    @Brian: Thanks for the note.  Mind mentioning which bug you've encountered in IE7, and where it was suggested that you download IE8? -Eric

    I've been working with a lot of XHTML and CSS of late and I've got to admit the CSS 2.1 rendering is on par with the other browsers. There are actually a few instances where I've noticed Gecko has bugs that are not present in IE8 (as I design with Gecko by default I know the issues extensively). I've really been warming up to IE8 as far as CSS is concerned and the developer tools have been very useful for JavaScript debugging as well as figuring out where an element has inherited styles and what those styles are.

    Hi I am using IE8 on Win7 build 7057. I used Spybot - Search & Destory to immunize the system. The software inserts blocked domains into registry as restricted sites used by IE(total around 10k domains). However, after immunized the system, IE becomes very slow on startup and open new tab. It back to normal if i undo immunizing the system. This doesn't happen in winxp sp3 IE8 and win7 build 7000.

    Wai, why would you expect the IE team to try to help you debug stolen, non-released software?  Build 7000 is the latest released build of Win7.

    "VANCOUVER, BC — It took a while longer but Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 did not survive the hacker onslaught at this year’s CanSecWest Pwn2Own contest. A security researcher named “Nils” (he declined to provide his full name) performed a clean drive-by download attack against the world’s most widely used browser to take full control of a Sony Vaio machine running Windows 7. He won a cash prize and got to keep the hardware.  Details of the vulnerability, which was described by contest sponsor TippingPoint ZDI as a “brilliant IE8 bug!” are being kept under wraps. Several members of Microsoft’s security response team were on hand to witness the successful exploit." So when is the patch for IE8 Final? ;)
