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
