Works for me...
And Saweeeet! IE8 is looking good! |

Dead for me also.
I'm still running IE6, never installed IE7. Can I safely install IE8 beta 1 and uninstall if I want then use IE6 again? I think I remember in the early days of IE7 it was not possible to go back. Or I think I'm confused with WMP11. |

| Looks like the download has been removed by Microsoft. |

UPDATE: Go to the page on the original link, then select Download Center. Then do a search for "IE8". Well then you got the link to download. This post was edited by belto on Wednesday, March 05, 2008 at 12:59. |

| Doesn't IE7Pro add-on have most the IE8 extra features? |

| It's up for XP SP2 as well. |

I'm not seeing THAT much of a difference.
Toolbars are still locked down, for one. I wanted to see that fixed. -Larry |

| TL: There is one difference, the Emulate IE7 button. Seems odd, but potentially useful. |

I installed it on a Vista "Ultimate" 64 box; besides some issue in rendering web pages which was expected, two of the gadgets in the sidebar, specifically "Feed Headlines" and "Stocks", are now in purple color. Not a big deal, it is Beta 1. This post was edited by Fritzly on Wednesday, March 05, 2008 at 16:41. |

"Latch: IE8 sucks. Bring back IE7. It was perfect! "
NotParkerToo- In case you have not noticed but this is a beta 1 of IE8. At least give it a chance |

Latch: IE8 has improved standards compliance, and renders in compliance mode by default! Way to go Microsoft! Good Job!
NotParkerToo: Latch is an asshat. Latch is wrong about everything and hates everything. Latch thinks Microsoft made good improvements in IE8. Therefore IE8 must suck. Bring back IE6! |

Pretty cool beans.
Find any address on any web page and then select one of the activities. This is really nice and I think that MS has something really good going on here. Shoot, highlight anything and select an activity. Try sending as an email, for example. I checked out the activities and slices videos and then the developer's tools clips. IE 8 is going to make the web a lot more fun to use and code for. Just my 2 cents. |
| #18 By 3653 (65.80.181.153) at 3/6/2008 1:26:13 AM |
| the hilighting of the domain.com in the address bar is crazy simple but really is nice. |

Urgent!!!!
Webslice needed for Activewin - it should show all threads and comments (sans Latch). |

#19: If you were using FF, you could program the GreaseMonkey extension to remove anything from me. But what would be the point? You'd miss all of my various witty remarks.
IE8 looks nice enough. My company's site renders fine in it. My only concerns wit IE these days are the same old, same old -- how long before some ActiveX glitch gives up the keys to the kingdom (again), and the rate at which MS fixes exposed flaws. |

Need Webslice to alert me of Latch's "witty remarks" |

#20 - Latch- "My only concerns wit IE these days are the same old, same old -- how long before some ActiveX glitch gives up the keys to the kingdom (again), and the rate at which MS fixes exposed flaws."
Except that if you were running IE on Vista, you would be far safer than ANY other browser on the market. There hasn't been a SINGLE exploit for IE7 that has been able to get by protected mode. Not one. Zip. Zero. Do you care to count the number of serious exploits for your favorite browser? Firefox? Safari? Opera? So there ya go... if you really care about security, you would run IE7 on Vista. I've written about this extensively here: http://www.robertdowney.com/2007/12/safest-way-to-browse-web-firefox-vs.html http://www.robertdowney.com/2006/10/how-ie7-on-vista-will-make-firefox.html |

#22: If I set GreaseMonkey to ignore all posts with 'This post was edited by...' then I'd never see another post from you again.
#23: I don't run Vista and doubt I ever will, so I will stick with FF, AdBlock and NoScript. I've never had a problem with it. IE7/8 might be the absolute best browser in the world, with the best security ever, but I'd still stay away from the years of crap we had to put up with from MS. |

#24 - Your sentence didn't even make sense. You said your only concern with using IE was security. I replied with facts that show that IE is *more* secure than other browsers. Your reply to that was... well... M$ Suxors!
As far as Vista is concerned, I can see you've chosen to go with the FUD over the facts. Perhaps these blog posts may clear your mind of the baloney: http://www.robertdowney.com/2007/01/fuding-of-windows-vista.html http://www.robertdowney.com/2007/01/fuding-of-windows-vista-part-2.html http://www.robertdowney.com/2007/02/fuding-of-windows-vista-part-3.html |
