    Makes some websites act crazzy! I made a screenshot for DigitalPoint Forum, this is how it looks now with IE8 and many other websites that looks OK with IE7, Firefox, Mozzila, AOL will look dummy in IE8!!!

    See the screenshot here: http://www.hostedimage.net/uploads/de35a8ea5b.png

    I am really MADDDDDDD that I upgrade on IE8.

    This screenshot here show something STRANGE on CNN page:

    Stay on IE7 or go for Firefox!

    You do realise it has an IE7 emulation mode right? Also, it is a beta software, did you expect it to work 100%?

    The Emulate button is for nothing! I did try with it and it's the same SAME thing! I know it's a beta ...but this is a really dummy thing to release something that makes so much troubles when browsing a website. The competition is so higher and they do so many mistakes... Microsoft is so greedy, they want Yahoo, I think tomorrow Google will receive a bid from Microsoft too...

    I'm really pissed off, so please excuse my atitude but I can'y hold it!

    Actually it is totally understandable. To be honest, browser-wise, I don't install any beta versions except for Opera.
    My personal view is that IE is the last browser one should install in beta version on a production machine.

    You can use IE8 beta in Toggle IE7 Emulation mode.

    I still use IE6 the best browser IE ever made... LMAO

    That is whenever I happen to use any IE browser.. I never did bother upgrading to 7 and that is about the time I went 97% Firefox..

    Firefox is the only way to go. Anything else is simply ludicrous.

    I never using IE except when doing some web styling job, using IE just to make sure my web page diplayed OK on all browser.
    Based on my experience on CSS, IE have their own way to intepreting the CSS standard.

    Heh, I was just reading about IE8. Apparently it didn't even past the Acid2 test. But then again it's beta.

    You read incorrectly. I tested it myself and it passes wonderfully: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html
