Recently I’ve decided to give IE8 a go, mainly since I’ve heard that it features a MSDN IEBlog on IE8 and Acid2. So I’ve downloaded the installer from Microsoft, and tried to install it. As it turns out, the installation was a breeze.

A good-looking installation splash screen:

Agree to license terms as usual:

IE8 Beta 1 - license agreement

Option to download and install the latest updates:

IE8 Beta 1 - online updates

Downloading…

IE8 Beta 1 - downloading

Installing…

IE8 Beta 1 - installing

Done.

Firing up IE8, it didn’t look much too different to IE7. The first thing to try was the Acid2 test that was meant to work. Oops.
