IE8 does provide a mode switch to IE7. There's a new button next to the home button. Though I'm not surpriced it nuked your IE6 installation.

I gave it a go and tried some of my testcases where I make heavy use of selectors and other cutting edge CSS features. Can't say I was impressed. I had actually hoped for more. I thought they'd pushed it quite a bit further, but it's looking pretty much like IE7, except that there seems to be less quirks. One thing I noticed was some oddness with :hover behaviour quite a few times. And my unordered list with square bullets now displays as quetsionmakrs with a border around it.

I decided to be the brave and die first IE's victim :-)

Very Bad! my IE 6 is gone, IE 7 standalone is working. The
installation took over 15 minutes.

How do they expect we test the browser by disable the the previous
version(s) ??

Yeah, I'm afraid to install it and kick IE6 and 7 out of my box!

Anyone with the guts to do it? @:D

Wondering if this nukes IE7 and embeds itself into Windows, or if
it can
run standalone...
