IE 8.0 Beta 2

I'm very disappointed with IE 8.0 performance. Pages load much more slowly
than 7.0.

I decided to try Chrome. In IE 8.0 it takes 45 seconds to over a minute to
load CNN.com. Chrome does it in 7 seconds. All the fancy tools and eye
candy are worthless if a browser won't let you efficiently browse.

MS, you have some work to do...

Instead of using unfinished software intended for code testing by
developers, you should wait for IE 8 to be released.

BTW: Nobody here works for or represents Microsoft in any way. This
newsgroup is composed of your fellow users who are trying to help each
other out. So your remark ("MS, you have some work to do...") is
nonsensical.

Right pew, wrong church => IE Beta Public Newsgroup Support:
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta

Via the web-interface:

Via your newsreader:

[Yes, I understand that the link you used may have brought you to IE General
