Get it now. Despite all the hype about Firefox (and it does deserve most of it) - IE remains my workhorse. Perhaps its as simple as being just too accustomed to it. But it does coform to most safety requirements and the IE8 has passed core 2 requirements. I just read somewhere that Safari isnt exactly great when it comes to security and some sites actually dont allow users to log in unless they use Firefox or IE.

Internet Explorer 8 Beta will come with a suite of improvements such as a virsual refresh, integration with the flagging Facebook and eBay, map viewing on Microsoft's Live service as well as the ability to remember its current set of displayed pages, enabling you to return straight to them should the browser be closed accidentally or crash. The latter being my favorite feature for the moment.

Try to get your paws on the beta now and tell us about it once you test it out.
