Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 availiable for download

Yay, next version of IE8 beta 1 is released, you can get it here.


This is going to be a hell of a release as microsoft has promised to be maximum compliant to standards, its not going to be easy for those IE based websites, I can see lot of rough edges here there but I still recommend going for a trial run. Even Mozilla is going to freeze their beta 5 build of Firefox 3 on March 18th :)

Direct links to download IE8, Luckily Microsoft didnt ask me for genuine validation but cant confirm that as i am using a legit copy :P
