I am authoring this post using IE8 Beta 2, and I'm very happy to report that things are looking great. I've been anxiously awaiting this ever since I got my first glimpse of IE8 back before the developer preview release came out. Because I work with clients and have to ensure that I don't impede my productivity I hadn't felt comfortable installing that previous release of IE8 on my day to day computer. But as I worked with it in my lab environments, the appeal was becoming overwhelming. Today I get to scratch that itch.

Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed:

IE8 Beta 2 has launched in English, German, Simplified Chinese and Japanese right now, and another 21 languages will become available in mid-September. You can download IE8 Beta 2 now at http://ww.microsoft.com/ie8.

The IE team has prepared a number of videos that allow you to get a feel for the new IE8 experience before you take the plunge. Check out the videos here and then download the product, and try it out.
