Microsoft have now released the release candidate of Internet Explorer 8.
You can get the new version from the IE8 web site.
Mike Ormond has said that he had a seamless install with the IE8 RC 1, but does give the good advice of checking the Internet Explorer Blog for details of the upgrade for details specific to your platform / environment.
This release is now apparently feature complete, which means what you experience here, should be what you would experience with the final release. There have also been improvements in performance, compatibility and reliability as well as some further security enhancements.
Apparently Internet Explorer 8 RC 1 does NOT work with Windows 7.
I have not had a chance to install this yet, but if you do, please post a comment and let everybody know what your experiences are. I had a lot of feedback on my post with some problems with previous betas, so lets hope we have a better time with this release.
