Welcome IE8 Beta!

Is it just me or was it only yesterday the hype for IE8 just started, and now they’re releasing the Beta! Couple of interesting things about IE8: it passes the Acid2 test (which technically means it’s more standards compliant than Firefox, which doesn’t pass the test), and if you’ve been following the discussion on IE8’s version targeting, Microsoft changed direction last minute on the meta tag specification which means your site will render just fine in IE8 (and if you want it to work in IE7-, THEN you have to specify).

I suppose the major concern now is “how fast is this getting adopted”? Because I need an excuse to not test for another browser :P

    IE 6 had better die fast! Putting up with designing for 2 different versions of IE is enough. I don’t think I could handle a 3rd!

    Ditto Paul. I revel in watching IE 5.5 stats drop every month in clients’ logs.
