Yes, I see the same thing.
Simply it seems that /*/ does NOT start a comment (or starts and
immediately closes a comment), so:
/*/ selector { ... } /* */
is read by IE8 beta 1.

A couple of other things that I noticed at a very quick look: 1) at least in some cases br style=clear:both / does not clear. 2) vertical-align seems a bit broken. Some values doesn't work correctly (for images, for display:inline-block boxes, ...) The middle value does not work anymore, not even in true table cells.

Right, but this one of 2004 was by Tantek and was classified as safe
because it addresses a parser bug in IE-Mac.

In fact, I'll e-mail Chris Wilson to make sure they know about it. BUT: if you only have time to report an IE8 problem in one place, do it via the Microsoft feedback page Nick listed. If you then find time to document the same problem on the wiki, that's awesome, but it's really secondary priority. -- Eric A.

Ingo no no, don't you realase that IE8 is desperately needing my IE/Mac style.
:-)
IE8 needs that filter working so my test page isn't a disaster.
http://css-class.com/test/beta-0-1.htm
And this mean that IE8 still is using IE7 targeting hacks.

No more rumors, the truth is known for all to see. :-)

IE8 is reading styles that were meant to be served to IE-mac.
Mere speculation, but this suggests an interesting possibility: the IE
Team would have faced a lot of work to create a CSS 2.1-compliant
rendering engine from scratch, but Microsoft already owns the source code
for a rendering engine with excellent support for CSS 2 - the IE 5-Mac
rendering engine.
Could it be that (very sensibly) they drew on that body of existing and
known-good code for the work on IE 8, and this CSS-comment -parsing bug
has crept in along with the good stuff?
Just a thought...
Regards,
Nick.
