Looks like today at the SXSW conference in Texas the Internet Explorer team made a surprise announcement that IE8 beta 1 is available for public download. Right now.
That’s right, the standards compliant, new version of IE is out for public testing and use as we speak.
I really have to say, over the past few months of reading the Microsoft IE blog I’ve been impressed with their change in attitude. This release of IE8, ahead of schedule just goes to further my appreciation of their new approach regarding developers and users.
I’m also personally excited to see continual development and advancement in the Microsoft browser space. The sooner IE8 goes live via Windows update the better. Hopefully within a year or so IE6 will be a memory of the past and developers can finally start to utilize PNG graphics and advanced CSS to the fullest.
