Playing with IE8 Beta

Have to say all this hype about IE8 passing the Acid test doesn’t seem that exciting when I see how its working in the real world.

Now.  To be honest, I only visited three sites before I felt compelled to come here and complain about IE8.

Two of these three sites (facebook.com and boston.com/sports) experienced some weird css behavior with IE8.  Facebook’s dropdown menu’s were not working and boston.com/sports had a layout abortion.

I’m assuming that these are the cause of IE7 conditional comments being applied to IE8? I could look.  I’m lazy.

I’m assuming that since Chrome is webkit it will magically work. Why can’t everyone just adopt webkit? oh. well.  i guess MS could NEVER adopt webkit.  Lame.
