IE 8 beta 1 for Developer

Microsoft announced IE 8 Beta 1 for Developer on MIX 08 yesterday. I download and install it today. I'm really interested in a few features:
  • Activities: No more copy and paste to search, map or blog in another tab or window. Very convenient.
  • Webslice: This is also a cool feature like they demo it using ebay.
  • Developer tools: Very cool and useful.
  • Emulate IE7: If you don't like IE8, you can switch back to IE7 engine.

But when I tried out, still have some problems because it is still in "Beta".

  • Performance: it is too slow on my XP SP2 machine.
  • Most of the website doesn't look good. I try Yahoo, MSN, MSDN etc.

Hope it will be better in next Beta. :)
