Still bug ridden and known incompatible with at least 2400 sites?

This ought to do wonders for their reputation after the disaster of
Vista.

I'ld feel a lot more comfortable with IE 8 than I would with 'ubuntu'.
It can't even activate my printer, although finding it, and is unable to
provide the means for internet access on a VPC. But that's another story...

How is that relevant?

Alias

But is is ready? I downloaded I.E.8 and went to my companies site.

The front page of the site, which is very simple, clean PHP, is messe
up in IE8.
The same page validates as 100% clean XHTML with the w3 validatio
tool. The page looks fine in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE7 or IE8 wit
compatibility mode

So.. IE8 can't render XHTML right

I tried to find some way of reporting sites to MS so that they coul
take a look & figure out if it was the site or IE8.. but haven't foun
anything yet

Thanks for specifications, but isn't RC virtually the same as beta?
I stand corrected if otherwise.
