We all knew it was coming and the beta is now here. Not that I am a big fan, I personally use FireFox but it will most definitly change the way all webmasters will be working with browser compatibility and so forth.

So go ahead and get a taste:

There are some very interesting changes to the new ie version including there new feature called "activities", this is something I must research to see how to make my site an available, activity option on the new version.

I'm not a fan of beta testing...I'll leave that to those techies that like to try out the latest software.

I'll wait for Microsoft to force me to install version 8.

I'm not into the beta thing either. IE 7.0 is still working out it's issues, and I'm not even ready for 8.0 yet. I will be a while before I install or download it.

I'll probably stick with Firefox regardless, but it will be interesting to see the new features and feedback this version receives. I wish they'd spend a little more time getting out Vista bugs rather than launching new browsers. Ha! I can't complain too much though. Vista's been pretty good to me the last 6 months (knock on wood!)

Internet Explorer?

Oops, I'm sorry, did I type that out loud?

The departments don't have much to do with one another ^^';

Well, I am excited for the new beta! I can't wait to test it.

I am still rocking IE 6 and Windows XP. I ran Vista and IE 7 briefly before I became frustrated and abandoned both of them.

It will be interesting to see what improvements there are over IE7

I will try it
