Microsoft on Monday released a near-final "release candidate" version of Internet Explorer 8, the next version of its Web browser.With IE 8, Microsoft is hoping to regain some lost ground by adding features such as private browsing, improved security, and a new type of add-ons, called accelerators.
Internet Explorer 8 will work with Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or later) and Windows Vista. A version of IE 8 is also being built into Windows 7.

Despite what everyone might be thinking, I am really looking forward to testing IE8. I know all about the flaws of it's previous versions, but Microsoft has the unique quality of getting things right ... eventually.
I am not an IE fan. Ever since FF came out, I've been using it. And chrome and Opera too.
Not a fan of IE here either it has always been to bug invested for my liking.I have been using opera for years now myself.I play around with firefox,chrome,and flock from time to time.
Well it's still RC1, so it's not really final yet. But even if it's final, I won't be using it :)
I have downloaded the RC1 yesterday and have to admit that I am not yet impressed. For some reason, pages that load fine on both FF and Chrome do not load properly on IE8, specially JS. I am not sure if there is something that I have to do first but there is an annoying message that keeps popping up, once I disabled some add-ons.
Will be testing it further and I would love to see more comments from other users.
I agree it would be nice to see what others think of the RC1 release so that we could see just what one likes,and dislikes with it.
