Yes, it seems that a comment before the doctype puts IE 8 beta 2 in quiks mode. > Secondly, what exactly IS IE8 quirks?

As far as CSS is concerned I haven't noticed any differences. > Third-- How is IE8 reading (or not) conditional comments? Normally IE8 behaves as expected with a version vector 8.000, i.e. it skips 'lte IE 7', reads 'IE gte 8', ecc. But it can be put in 'Compatibility Mode' where it reacts as IE 7 also to CC. This can be done in more then one way, either by the user clicking the 'Compatibility View' icon, or by the author, with metatags or HTTP headers. (And the above is a bit imprecise, since there are indeed more 'modes' in which IE 8 can be put. Look at the MS IE blog if you need more precise info).
