IE8 beta 2 and FF3 now Available

Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 and Firefox 3 are now available on XP and Vista configurations. There's not a lot of difference in the FF3 beta 4 and the final release, but it is there for your testing pleasure.

On the other hand, IE8 beta 2 might give you pause before installing it yourself. Especially if you've been reading about how it behaves with XP SP3. If you have IE8 beta 1 and SP3, IE8 can become permanently installed with no way to back out if you don't like it. You'll be able to upgrade, just not downgrade or remove it. Adding insult to injury, it is incompatible with several services and applications.

Fortunately for you, you don't have to take that risk. Just fire up one of our configurations and test away, safely insulated from any of those issues.

Rock on,
Mike
