Please be aware that Beta 2 will replace your IE7 installation!

I wonder how the CSS support will be. Either way I only use IE to test sites I build, and not as my personal browser.

I only use IE for testing, so iam not exited at all with this new release.

They should just include FireFox as the default browser with windows...

Wouldn't that be the day Anik! But nooo Microsoft needs to include a crappy browser which for some reason they choose not to adhere to standards.
