Installing. Going to try it out. IE7 was a mess for me so I rolled back to IE6. I never tried IE8 Beta 1. Maybe this will work better.

Installed it and tryiing it out now, it at least seems to be running a little better now since it is X64 version, the X86 version didn't work well on my system before.

Does anyone know if IE8 and IE7 can be installed at the same time, or does IE8 replace IE7?

Thanks

It replaced my I.E. 7, but I didn't check if I could have installed along side, but I didn't see that option during the install either

It replaces it.

So far I'm disappointed. Here is my first major issue:

On the plus side, the big problem I had with IE7 (which caused me to trash it and roll back to IE6) was that if I had more than 2 tabs open and tried to reduce them to 2 it would crash. So far I'm not having that problem now.

Photosynth didn't run on my first 2 attempts

Photosynth ran for me the first time

All I can say is it's lightning fast on Vista though IE7 was no slouch either, on a clean install, not even any security loaded. Compared to FF3 on XP though, IE8 beat it hands down. Only reason I didn't try IE8 on my XP was it wanted to download updates and run a Malicious Software Check and I'm not ready to trust it yet to be error free using my production rig.

Did you install IE8 B2 on your signature rig?

After I posted in the "microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta" NG someone posted they had no problem w/ Photosynth & this beta in Vista x64.

All the other tips & suggestions over there only deal w/ security settings & addon being enabled using the addon manager. Maybe its a x86 OS thing

I have it installed in Vista Ult x86.
