It remains to be seen what IE8 will bring - the beta looks ok but has some crashing issues and renders forms in a very strange way indeed - but what is hopeful is that Microsoft are actually listening to the web community and making changes to the browser after feedback. The recent backtrack in Meta Versioning is a great example. I've never been a Microsoft nor IE fan - but I have to congratulate them on appearing like they actually care about producing a good product in IE8.

Being skeptical here, but Microsoft previously not listening to the community and now is, that's a little strange...
Just installed IE8 on my Vista laptop and it's awful, you might want to check eUKhost.com mainsite, it renders disgracefully.
It's a weird thought, aren't Microsoft developers suppose to be top of the range when, in theory, Firefox BETA's reliability are 50 x more than Microsoft's BETA's (i.e. Internet Explorer)?
At this point, I wish I could just completely remove IE from my Vista machine; funnily enough they removed that feature
