OK, but websites that are rendered fine in every browser I have (FF, Opera, IE7) just don't render correctly in IE8.

I don't know why I have the horizontal scrollbar for some reason... I don't see an option for it anywhere.

Another minor cosmetic thing: everytime I open a new tab my locked toolbar messes up, too.

IE8 has destroyed the Live Maps application, as wel as all other maps applications and other applications that hide content under the rest of the page. It's kinda slow, and i have a horizontal scrollbar everywhere I go :(. It also has rendering problems on a lot of websites, but that is probably the fault of those websites (i'm looking at you neowin devs :shifty:).

The activities on the other hand are kind of cool, and the rendering engine seems to render a lot of pages more like Firefox. So there has been a lot of improvement but the devs still have a long way to go to get the Triton engine to overcome the javascript flaws.

Wait, wait... Look at this one:

:D

lol I too see a horizontal scrollbar. The form elements seem to behave significantly different compared to IE7. pseudo states such as active on form elements are finally supported ! Heading int he right direction but have some ways to go for sure.

About IE8 not rendering webpages correctly in standards mode while FF and Opera does.

Remember that both FF and Opera have adopted a lot of code into their engines to render IE designed webpages correctly. while IE8 standards ode is just plain standards.

yes, if the menu is that big in the final it's going to be pretty annoying. ie7 has imo a virtually perfect ui. they hneed to make the menu in 8 much smaller. currently there is a lot of wasted space.

It's only that size with the favourites menu enabled.... if you disable it, then it looks just like IE7.

I hope they get some good support for ACID3 with Beta2 as it kind of blows up and fails lol

Anyone think the right click menu is far to big

People complain about standards: Now shuts up the bitches and IE8 passes them 100%

People complain about nonstandards being standard: Now people bitch

People complain about the ACID3 test when NO browser completes the test 100: Now people bitch

Conclusion: People are bitches.

well considering IE8 Beta 1 failes ACID3 on 17%

FF 3.0 failes on 67%

What you posted makes no sence what so ever. IE8 dont require any non standard code to load a standard website

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
