Microsoft has released last January 26 Internet Explorer RC1 bits for both 32-bit and 54-bit Windows Vista version. This version is the last release prior to the final release of Microsoft’s browser.
Changes include:
Compatibility View List for Windows Vista – Windows Internet Explorer 8 improves browser interoperability and advances the Web by delivering a better implementation of Web standards. While this is a move in the right direction, users might encounter compatibility issues with some sites that still rely on the behavior of previous versions of Internet Explorer. Microsoft understands the shift towards standards compatibility with Internet Explorer 8 may take some time to complete for each organization or webmaster.
