    IE8 should be great, considering that Opera and FF have gone years ahead of it.

    well considering the fact that IE releases are a few months earlier than an OS one (see IE6 and win XP, IE7 and vista now IE8 and vienna upcoming next year) it is well expected. other than that i am in no mood testing my sites for compatibility with one more stupid IE browser… :S
