Although Microsoft is rumored to be releasing IE 8 RC next week, leaks tend to come out days in advance in these situations, and this one is no exception. Version number: IE 8 RC1 Build: 8.0.6001.18343. As I am currently in the wireless, it is impossible to test, everyone understands. Only 32-bit versions of XP and Vista have been tested and installed correctly. For Windows 7 Beta, Microsoft has previously confirmed that there will not be a Windows 7 Beta support for IE 8 RC version, but after all, Vista and Windows 7 kernel is the same, so someone came up with a way to install this version of IE 8 on Windows 7 Beta. However, the installation may not be successful.
