Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

This is BETA software so unless you are using a spare computer it is suggested to NOT download and use this!!!!!!

Posting this here as I am sure word will spread on this quickly and it is better to get it from MS then someplace else.
EDIT:
Early reports are that it is cool, imports Firefox and Opera and Safari settings, but is definately BETA (i.e.) It has some noticeable bugs.

Will stick to Firefox Beta 3 :p IE just in general doesn't have the customizability I'm looking for - and this is coming from someone who stuck by it up until the middle of IE6!

I made the switch to Firefox a while ago, and it will take something major on MS's side to tempt me back.

I don't understand why Microsoft is still trying to fight it out with the browser market... Why not just leave it to the others who seem to be able to do it much better.....

I had an earlier beta and gave up with it. This one is getting better but nothing like Firefox or Opera IMHO.


evilfantasy, I think Microsoft have moved the download page for XP. Dead Link.
