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

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
