Installed it this morning. Crashes way too much :(. Although, a lot smoother and faster than IE7.

It's an improvement, but it's still really dodgy. Some interesting features being put in though.

Before I install it (got driven crazy with the first Beta so reverted to IE7 when I got my new computer and reformatted my laptop)..


1. Has it fixed the Google Maps problem? (ie can you look at google maps without it crashing the browser!)

2. Has it fixed the need to always have it set on IE7 compatability mode?

I can use gmaps without it crashing. I guess it's fixed.

As for 2 i think, yes.

RE: Internet Explorer 8 BETA 2
Show me a wikipedia page with such links :P

If you believe the fault lies at IE8 b2's rendering and not your coding simply add the following meta tag in the header:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
That way ppl will see your site in IE7 mode. You can/should mention the rendering problem in the public NG too. You might get a solution, else someone can report it on Connect for you.

For those wondering why on one site you see the compatibility button (broken page in address bar) and not on the other: those who use that tag have set the compatibility for you, so the button will not show.
