Well today is IE8's Launch Day, who's gonna dive in and deploy it
Microsoft Announces Availability of Internet Explorer 8: New browser focuses on top customer needs, including security, ease of use and performance.
Likely to me made part of my images for deployment this summer.
Whilst the browser itself has been released, it doesn't look like they've got the administration kit to release stage yet - still RC1.
I've not even put IE7 out yet!
Interesting
Won't be deploying it for at least a few months. Lets just see what it breaks first and any other quirks it may produce. I am hopeful however that the IE7 to IE8 route will definitely be smoother than IE6 to IE7.
I also believe IE8 can be slipstreamed into Windows Vista for new deployments. Not sure about Windows XP or 2003.
Link's dead. Anyone actually found the download?
Not released until 4pm (12pm EDT) today.
Windows Internet Explorer 8: Home page is where I got it from. Although it now seems to have reverted to the RC1... ie. I think it was actually the RC1 that I downloaded, but the page didn't mention it, but now does say RC1 again.
According to the release it's not available until 12.00 EDT, which I'm guessing is about 16.00 UK time.
It's no better than the rest !!

How does ie know the web site is for older ie versions. ??
Seems to be 'standards compliant' by default, and broken websites can add a meta tag to tell IE8 to run in 'IE7 Standards mode'.Originally Posted by ryaneveritt
To quote blogs.msdn.com
"Now, IE8 will show pages requesting “Standards” mode in IE8’s Standards mode. Developers who want their pages shown using IE8’s “IE7 Standards mode” will need to request that explicitly (using the http header/meta tag approach described here). "
