Wow, Microsoft is now begging for beta testers? Used to be that they would have to beat them off with a stick.
Maybe I should..... nah, I would rather test Firefox 3.1....

lol. Yeah, must say I'd rather test 3.1 as well...though Microsoft's decisions to add more standards support and in fact to go default to standards is exciting. IN has had to deal with some real headaches concerning CSS/JS cross-browser compatibility issues.

IE8 also has separate threads for each tab so crashing only takes out part of the browser. How cool is that?

Now that is pretty sweet. What about virtualization of the browser? Have you seen that IE Sandbox that separates the browser from the rest of the OS - essentially creating a invincible (okay, nothing is invincible) environment for the browser to operate in?
