I installed it today after avoiding for some time now. I saw it on a friends machine and thought it could be no worse than 7, right?

Now, I installed it with the options turned off to avoid backwebby stuff. However it is sluggish now on pages I know are fast. It doesn’t seem to be caching or its being filtered somehow it seems.

Pligg ftw, the new version really rocks but themes are so hard to find…

To be honest, I’m GLAD it doesn’t obey standards to the strictest letter of the law.

Whilst I am a software developer, I am also a user.
And as such, I’d like to still see 80% of the internet.
Switching to a strictly standard based browser will just make the web a big mess.

When all web “developers” and their tools stick to standards, then microsoft should (as they have no reason not to).
Until then, I am glad IE is capable of displaying websites in what it thinks is the right way, when other such as firefluff render them in a totally unusable manner.

So good on your Microsoft.. keep it up!

Dwayne,

Some great points all around, but really, as the rest of the programming world understand it, “beta” SHOULD be feature complete. If a single programmer chooses to ignore the naming convention, that’s one thing, but a company like Microsoft? if we see bugs, that’s ok, however you’d imagine that if they’re going to go around an tout their acid 2 compliance, that they’d eliminate the infamous double margin bug that IE in general is so well known for… they haven’t. Enough said, we still have to hack it.

Let’s put this into perspective. IE 8 is in beta, correct. IE 8 although in beta should have the current rendering engine that Microsoft has been developing for god only knows how long now. It’s slow because Microsoft deliberately make all of their beta’s slow and buggy, Windows Vista was a perfect example of that.

IE 8 does pass the Acid2 test, correct. Does it really even matter if it passes it if IE 8 is going to be plagued by the same or even worse, newer bugs? I doubt it.

I’m reserving my final judgment for near the end. Maybe an RC copy which by release candidate standards be basically feature complete and bug free, then my words will come down on the browser.

We all know that IE 8 won’t be fully standards compliant, that’s a fact. Microsoft should obtain a license for the Mozilla framework (they can afford it), and then make a browser based around it.

Microsoft just give up, Firefox is slowly, but steadily taking hold of your market share.

IE has always been a pain in my ass. I can’t wait until the day that I don’t have to add hacks to my code just to make Microsoft’s crappy browser see it the way all the other browsers do. I won’t hold my breath. I know each browser is slightly different in the way it renders pages but IE always takes the cake for being so difficult. Yes, you’d think that such a HUGE corporation would produce a better browser but they simply haven’t. The browser wars ended when FF was released (IMHO). Microsoft could learn something from the Mozilla team. If IE wasn’t such an intericate part of Windows they just might make a better browser. This is just my opinion.

Well, I hate to disagree Ryan, but I’m afraid I have to. IE, in general, is bad. You can feel free to read my own blog at our corporate site where I express my opinions more in depth, however, I would submit to you that Microsoft would be insane to create a standards compliant web browser. If they did such a thing they’d lose their current strangle-hold on the market.

Now, I’d love to see a truly standards compliant IE as much or more than the next developer… but I seriously doubt it will actually ever happen.
