Download Internet Explorer 8 Beta

The first Beta version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 has just been released publically.
Improvements include default mode interpreting web pages much more correctly according to W3C standards. A button to “Display as IE7″ is available for debugging.
The big news that MS is touting is something they call Webslices. Essentially Webslices are like RSS feeds - small subscription services, except they can go both ways - output and input. An example of output would be a weather service, while input could be a task manager.
A crash recovery feature is also in place, to recover crashed sessions.
Oh, and it passes the Acid 2 test with flying colors. The Acid 3 test however…

(only works on XP SP2, Vista and Server 2003).
PS! I don’t recommend you install this on your main system, as it is beta software and could be unstable.
