Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 was just announced at MIX08 and the IEBlog has the lowdown on the improvements they have concentrated on for this release, including full CSS 2.1 support, better scripting performance, the beginnings of HTML5 support, built-in developer tools, automatic crash recovery, and a new feature called "WebSlices" (this is similar to something that I've always wanted to hack up into a Vista Sidebar gadget!) Download it now while it's hot :) Internet Explorer 8 Beta: Home Page
