Default Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 released

I'm installing now.

It seems like yesterday Microsoft just released IE 7...

Here's the download page: Internet Explorer 8 Readiness Toolkit

The neat thing is that if something isn't working right in IE8, there's an "emulate IE7" button that will use the IE7 engine. Pretty cool. I'll let you know if I like it after it installs and I test it for a while.

Didn't you just tell Knoxbox to use Firefox since IE is bad?

Firefox doesn't deserve this backstabbery (sp.?)

I don't like IE, nor do I use it (except for development purposes). I'm just announcing that MS has released it.

what he is saying is that he perfers to browse the net in mozilla, however eplorer whether you like it or not is the core basis of all windows even back to windows 95. the core of exploere is used in all the windows interfaces and has been that way for years.. so reguardless how much you dislike explorer its always going to be apart of your windows experience.

if you know alot about computers is the actual shell that windows runs on.

Yes I know this. It's called a joke.

I know explorer has been around for a long time now, too.
