As promised last year, Microsoft has launched the first Internet Explorer 8 beta version, the browser meant to replace IE 7 and to continue the battle for supremacy with Firefox 3.0, currently also in a beta phase. Microsoft promised a load of improvements.

NoobFeed editor Jay Claassen writes - Astor: Blade of the Monolith is shaping up to be an absolutely amazing RPG, aside from that one major flaw with combat. If you can look past the issue at hand, there’s a magical world that’s just waiting to be explored and secrets to discover throughout its rich story, and let’s not forget the mountains of side quests just waiting to be conquered.
Man, can Microsoft do anything right anymore ? I hope this thing is still in pre-pre beta because this is just ridiculous. Until they can fix their consoles and softwares, they will keep disappointing consumers.
EDIT: Btw, Firfox FTMFW
Doesn't sound good. I'm waiting as they said they have a more "public" use beta coming soon and i still want to give it a try myself.
But, right now, I'm using FireFox 3 beta 3, and the ONLY problem i can find is that you don't seem to be able to add a "home" button to the toolbar, the hotkey "ALT + home" does my head in (personal issue really, not modzilla's and an easy fix), oh and a lot of the cool plug-ins aren't compatible (yet).
meh... it's a beta. The story strikes me as somewhat opportunistic.
Since the site seems to be down there's no way for me to check their procedures. If anyone has read the article, did they use a large group of computers for testing? Cause that's what beta's for... Some hardware configs won't run at all. There's just no way to tell. If the reporter only tested on a couple, it's really not indicative of IE's quality or lack thereof... *edit* finally got the site to load. Looks like a single install was used to judge. So this really seems like a non-story.
Anyway, I'm just glad to never have to use the bloody thing. In the Mac world there's a lot more choice, from the ones you know on windows (Firefox, Safari, Opera) to fab Mac-only browsers (Shiira, Camino, etc.) so it's more of a decision based on which fab browser I'd like to use today. Generally in the past it's been everything except IE and Firefox... but Firefox has vastly improved and 3.0 looks to be a real competitor with the rest of the Mac browsers.
I am rooting for IE8 though because it seems much more compatible with web standards, which will make the web a much more pleasant place for everyone (especially designers).
Internet Explorer is far better than Firefox.
The pattern continues. Just like XBOX 360. Crash, Restart, Crash, RED RINGS.
