Quick bit of news today, Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 has been released to a select few for testing. I wonder whether, as some suggested, the version targeting has been left out at this stage. Then again, I also wonder what it looks like, what it feels like to use, how much of an improvement it is in terms of CSS and JavaScript and how much better it is than IE7. I would love to have an early look! Apparently there will be a public beta soon and we can look forward to demonstrations at the upcoming Mix 08, but who wants to wait?

So, if anyone's listening in Microsoft, I'd love to see your new browser!
