Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Now Available

Source: IEBlog : Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Now Available


We’re excited to release IE8 Beta 2 today for public download. You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/ie8. Please try it out!

You’ll find versions for 32- and 64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. In addition to English, IE8 Beta 2 is available in Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), and German. Additional languages will be available soon.
While Beta 1 was for developers, we think that anyone who browses or works on the web will enjoy IE8 Beta 2. Before the team blogs about our Beta 2 in detail, here’s an overview of what you’ll find in IE8.
We focused our work around three themes: everyday browsing (the things that real people do all the time), safety (the term most people use for what we’ve called ‘trustworthy’ in previous posts), and the platform (the focus of Beta 1, how developers around the world will build the next billion web pages and the next waves of great services). ......

This version is awsome, Loving the speed and new tab coloured design plus the many, many other enhancements The favorites bar looks ugly but does have a few very interesting features though the Addressbar feature is another great aswome addition

Truely good release over any currenty released Internet Explorer... Cheers Microsoft

Installing both the vista 32 and 64. I will keep you posted.

Had a site lock up and assumed it was IE8's fault. Went to firefox and same thing. So far so good.

Read where someone lost their IE favorites? Didnot happen to me with either vs.

Yeah, since Vista x64 has both x64 and x86 versions, do we install *both* or will the x64 versions cover both?

Or can that even be done?
