Internet Explorer 8 RC1 due Monday

[braveheart]

Ive tried and wee bit same as IE7 -- still no add-on for theme or easier like URL Fixer which used in Firefox.... Firefox make you easier also very fast so stay with Mozilla all way

IE8 look nice but i dont see any difference between IE7 and 8 but some add features in IE8....

I still can't increase the text size on this site with IE8 in XP, I can on all sites with Safari in XP.

It's quite good, a massive improvement on IE8 Beta.

I like it, but it's not like I needed more features to stay with IE, IE7 is perfect for me.

Anybody got this installed on Windows 7?

It is built in in Windows 7

IE8 is built into Windows 7, but it's not the RC1 version.

 

[Brian Stuart]

I stand corrected

really, i installed the beta and unistalled it the next day because it was still full of bugs

i'm might wait for the final release tbh, when is this expected?

I quite like it. I hope they make the "Compatibility Mode" stuff a bit more transparent though. I don't like all the annoying balloon tooltips... although to be fair I've not looked in the options to see if they can be turned off. But still. Averages joes won't do that and they'll still find it annoying after a while.

RC1 is finish code, is it not?
if so it will only get updated if its really necessary for now on, as IE7 does

MS have pretty much said that IE8 RC1 will be part of the 70XX build of windows 7.

Yep installed a newer version of Windows 7 (7048) and it has IE8 on it.
