    Default IE8 Beta is out

    Anyone going to give this a go...???

    I might have a look at it later, but it will take something great to bring me back from Firefox.

    It would want to have speeded up the page load times dramatically.

    I installed it and found that you need the emulate IE7 activated otherwise the page contents are all over the place.
    It seems to be a bit faster but time will tell.

    There is a review... well not an actual review on techblorge because it always crashed on his vista sp1 PC, possibly due to his HP printer driver.

    What is sp3 beta like and where can I get a copy please?
