Internet Explorer 8 Beta Release

Wednesday, 5 March 2008 11:43 by dmitriy

Hot news from Microsoft:

Internet Explorer 8 available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/getitnow.mspx

The download appears BETA release, and target audience are web developers. So, guys be prepared for new bugs.

Acid3 test results ( you can get them there http://acid3.acidtests.org/ ) 17/100. I don't know what to say. This is not about standards support, this is about support of standards violations. Safari 3 for Windows shows 34/100 on acid 3, and this is definitely bad. IE 6 shows 11/100 in ACID 3. And Firefox 2 results is 50/100.
 

Frankly, I was really happy because of IE 7 release. And I think that MS at least found that right way in web browsing. I'm going to test this new thing and post my own results. It's very interesting how it works with box model and other things.

Let's hope that this browser will be the best Internet Explorer ever!
