Seems like Microsoft has decided to go for many releases on a day on the first day of MIX. Yes today Microsoft not only announced the release of IE8 Beta1 but also the preview of the Asp.Net MVC and Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1. This is way too much to work on at the same time. But who is complaining. :-)

Dear Members of the Board:

Hi,

Two days ago Microsoft announced Wednesday it has passed an early milestone for the next version of its iconic Internet Explorer. An early version of the pre-beta code for IE 8.0 has successfully passed the so-called Acid2 browser compatibility tests

IE8, the next upgrade to Microsoft's browser, passes the Web Standards Project's Acid2 test, according to Dean Hachamovitch, the IE group's general manager.

Hachamovitch also said - We're listening to the feedback about IE, and at the same time, we are committed to responsible disclosure and setting expectations properly.

IE8 is expected to come out in the first half of the next year. Way to go IE team.
