Hi Folks.  Just got over my "early adopter" nerves and dowloaded IE8 RC1.  It was a pleasant experience and only took a few minutes...  I look forward to discovering some of the promised improvements such as an increase in speed, ease of finding information and of course improved security.  However, I am by no means an IE expert so, I strongly advise you to check out the IE 8 Blog which is designed to guide the more technically savvy (i.e. you guys!) in testing and implementing IE8.  If you are responsible for your client or employers websites then, as this is the final Release before IE 8 is finalised, please download the Release Candidate, test your sites and services and software with the product, make any changes necessary for the best possible customer experience with IE8, and let us know about your experience.  Note that the IE8 Release Candidate is for Windows Vista, XP, and Server only; Windows 7 users will get an updated IE8 with the next update of Windows 7.
