IE 8 Beta Release

Posted under: Internet Exploder — admin @ 11:08 pm

So Im debating whether or not to try out the IE8 Beta. Ive read some conflicting reports, but the scariest being what some users have experienced…. The catch all phrase being “It hosed my system”. Im curious if IE8`s Web Standards friendly hype will be short lived or not. I do know that IE8 will now support CSS Tables, kinda cool… But the good people over at FF, as well as ALL of the other browsers already support CSS Tables. So the question is, will Internet Exploder 8 actually benefit any of us developers who struggle with the non Web Standards compliant pain in the @ss demon that is Internet Explorer. In all reality, Microsoft should have been adhering to these standards for a lot longer than they have made the attempt to… At any rate, I appreciate it non the less. Not that any of this matters at the moment, as testing in IE6 and 7 will be a necessary evil for at least a few more years. I have read some reviews of IE8 vs. FF3 beta`s… And the general consensus is…………… FireFox 3 is still far superior to IE8. What a shocker…..
