IE8 Beta 1 Experience

Today I have just installed IE8 just to try it. Which the new features focus on Developers for web page debugging.

Installation
The installation take up more than five minutes, since it downloaded some security updates for Windows that is needed by the browser. The it required you to restart because of the Windows update it downloaded.

First run
IE8's start-up is faster than the start-up time of IE7. I think it also (correct me if I'm wrong...) low in process resources. It looks the same IE7, nothing new in the design, except for the Favorites bar which is like the Bookmarks toolbar by Firefox. It has this new button that says "Emulate IE7", which is one of the features of IE8 that it can emulate IE7. On the address bar, it highlights the domain name of the site you are viewing. Closing the browser is slow.

Actions
I uninstalled it. No explanations.

Updates
IE8 beta 2 is due release in August.

In case you want to try IE8b1 download it here.
If you're installing, it is better to create a restore point first before you install.
Using Vista and uninstalling it IE8? Go here.
