IE8 Beta 2 Released

@4:32 Leave a comment

The new beta of Internet Explorer 8 has been released.

Complete with the new InPrivate option that's been all over the news the past week or so. They've also got Compatibility View, which quickly switches to render the page as IE7 would render it (so.. incorrectly). They had IE7 rendering in the old beta, but it was crap, as you had to reload the browser. Apparently this one does it instantly.

It fares well against current CSS standards though, a lot better than any current iteration of IE. There's an updated compliance table over at quirksmode.org.

I shall be trying it out myself later on to see how it is.
