For web developers and those of you who prefer Internet Explorer as your web browser, you might want to give a look at the latest and greatest version 8.
Perhaps the biggest change in IE8 is the move to being more “standards compliant”. All the old quirks which IE supported will still be available, but users have to opt in to this functionality. You can read about all the new functionality here. IE8 appears that it will only support Windows XP (with SP2) and Windows Vista desktop OS’s.
If you do want to give it a try, keep in mind this software is still in beta, so it is subject to stability issues.
