News Next IE8 beta due in August

The next public beta release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 web browser won't be coming out until August, significantly later than testers were expecting.

 

Conspiracy theories made me read that as "IE8 Bug" - too late for me, unless ofcourse firefox continue with useful things like stealing your privacy - then i'll hop on the opera bandwagon

 

I like the way that IE always goes from Beta to Release, doesn't go through any kind of release candidates or Beta stages.

 

yea it does, it's had private alpha testing, then public beta1, public beta2..etc

it may have an RC1/RC2/RTM as well.. but it'll probably go Beta3->RTM *shrug*

 

2 flavours of Portuguese, one for me and one for my friends in Brazil..... even if i refuse to use it, i like using firefox.

 

Lure me away from Opera? No, I don't think so. We use whatever the latest IS is at work and it's a massive PITA.

 

They just keep beating the dead horse... Why would someone use IE? Why would someone swap back to IE after changing to something else? Like the main reasons would be going anywhere any time soon.
