Thanks! Downloading now and reading the info.

Well it loads pages slower than IE6. Also typing in this window is a lot slower. There is about a 1-2 second delay before the letters i am typing in appear. Also, the animations on the screen pause when I am typing.

In addition, my whole purpose for installing this was to see if IE8 finally followed the CSS standard, and it does not. My website's CSS passes the w3c's code inspector (why I use the pass badge) but the page still looks wrong in IE8. It also looks wrong in any version of Firefox and also IE7. It is interesting to note that it looks proper in IE6.

I use Firefox as my primary browser, so the fact that this runs like garbage is not a concern.

EDIT: I my pic shows how the performance of my computer was effected by typing. Make sure to look at the Quick Access pane to the left of the reply box.

Sorry some of the buttons dont' work like Fast Reply and Edit... But regular reply works.

No need for downloading Ie8 at all its still buggy and they haven't changed much at all....
Same old crap as it was before.....doesn't support CSS correct and doesn't support hover at all

My suggestion...better upgrade to FF and you'll be more happier

Beta 2 due this month.

One, it's buggy because it's a BETA. Two, it fully supports CSS 2.1 - anything above and beyond is still not a finalized spec, so it's likely not supported properly (if at all) because the decision (well publicized) with IE was to support standards - but only final ones that aren't going to change (and will end up giving you what happened with IE6).

I hate IE as much as the next guy, and I think IE8 is still trash overall, but it's still the first browser we've seen from Microsoft to have decent standard support in a LOT of years. Finally a browser not holding back the web! That's something we've been waiting for MANY years. The same standard page made using standard markup should work on all major browsers without any hacks, browser-specific stylesheets or anything. I'm definitely looking forward to that, even if I'm not going to use it.

In other news, 8 is less than 5. It goes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10... See the pic.
