When Windows XP SP3 RC2 was applied after the installing IE8 Beta 1, the system stopped booting.When it tries inspecting, in iertutil.dll, API non it seems that the fact that it is interchangeable is cause with IE7.

MyTime:

Applying a release candidate on top of a non-standard Windows (IE 8 where IE 7 or 6 was expected) is probably not something you should have done. It's supported if you're installing IE 8 on top of SP3 RC2 (Build 3311 or Higher), but I don't think the other way around works (as you've found out).

IE Team:

Do you use Team Foundation Server for IE development internally?

Ie8 very good, very strong. In particular the "imitation IE7" function.

Open new tab significantly faster than before. !

There was a chat with the IE Team a few weeks back that I wasn't able to attend.

Are the notes from that chat going to be posted anytime soon?

Supposedly, uncovering of that chat's transcript is not something that they gape after. :-)

I was at the chat and have saved its text. From time to time I will cite quotes there in comments.

@rc, re chat notes

So after a quick read, here's the executive summary:

1. SVG support? - Not in IE8, yell loud enough and we might put it in IE8

2. XHTML support? - Not in IE8, yell loud enough and we might put it in IE8

3. MNG (Animated PNGs)? - Not in IE8, not even considered on the roadmap

4. rgba() color specs? - Not in IE8, no comment for IE9

5. CSS3 support? - None in IE8, will only consider *AFTER* spec is finalized, thus IE9 is a *VERY* weak maybe.

6. UI/Chrome fixes for moving toolbars, buttons etc.? - No comment, no commitment. - Lets cross our fingers that they fix this one pronto!

I did seem to read between the lines in that chat notes that jpeg XR support might be on the cards.
