The time has finally come for us to all get our hand on IE8 (or rather a beta of it)

First thing I installed it on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 x64. Installation process took about 20 mins. This includes all up dates and scanning for malware. System restarted and I was greated with all the usual system is updating messages.

All the info here

Ok, today checked it out.
Not bad, still quite slow. Will be waiting for the future builds

It's not rendering correctly some pages and is a bit slow...

back to IE7 until beta 2 is out.

It's because it uses different rendering mode.. There is Button "Emulate Internet Explorer 7"..

After you click it and restart, pages starting to look normal again

Yep. Although I found its rendering the pages faster than IE7 but its having problems with many sites, so I'm using IE7 Emulation Mode. Its quite cool.
