It is interesting to see the press reaction to IE8's beta rollout. Instead of looking at the product they are commenting on the spam-like campaign MS launched to get people to download the beta. Google on "IE8 astroturf" to see a surprisingly large number of hits.
"Microsoft IE8 rolls out the astroturf" www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/27/microsoft_ie8_chain_letter/ Those who are looking at the product note that it is slow. In a 5-browser JavaScript shootout IE came in dead last... "IE8 is doing great in the same way as a man running a marathon who finishes dead last by a few hours. He still finishes but it¹s so very, very far behind..."
