ie8 

I suspect this will be top of Techmeme by the time you read this and the comparisons with Firefox 3 will begin. I’ve had mixed fortunes with IE8 beta 1 myself since MIX08 so I’m downloading Beta 2 right now to see how it fares on my machine.

Download now in English, German, Japanese and Chinese (simplified) and get the full deets on the IE blog of course.

[update] installed and pretty impressed so far. Lots of new toys to look at – check out A Comprehensive Look at Internet Explorer Beta 2 for an excellent run down.
