Default Internet Explorer 8

Just wondering if anybody uses Internet Explorer and if anybody has in-fact upgraded to the IE8 Beta 2 version?

Nah, I'll only move up to 8 when the release version hits the stands.

I use FF3 99% of the time anyway.

To be honest I love FF now, I have been using it for about 2 months and it is loads better than IE.

The only reason I downloaded IE8 was to see how my websites cope with it, thought I may as well get any bugs ironed out now before they release the stable version on new PC's.

yeah, good move that really.

I too was unsure of FF when i first gave it a go, but now I can't do without it. Every other browser is playing catch up on FF if you ask me.

I didn't even know IE8 was in beta. Looking forward to it though as it should build on the stability of IE7. :)

Beta 2 now, however, FAAAAAAAAAAR from stable at the moment. Almost finished sorting my website display issues and will revert back to IE7 & FF3, for the time being anyway.

If anybody is interested, if your website doesn't display 100% perfect when 8 is released and you don't want to employ somebody to fix the problems. Add the following code just beneath your <head> tag on EVERY page, basically it just emulates IE7.

PHP Code:
<!-- Use IE7 mode -->
<
meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

I've been playing with IE8 over the past few days and it has crashed three times on my so far.

Has anyone had a go with Chrome, by Google?
