I'd kind of prefer if they just fixed their browser. :)
What remaining IE8 issues are there? The first beta was so unusable in general we didn't bother attempting any workarounds on the assumption it would change entirely by later betas...

Yeah, I think we should just wait until they fix their browser... We're standards compliant, aren't we?

Your reply was probably a joke, but, just in case it wasn't; Microsoft may be getting OEMs to ship with IE8:

David didn't say that, I did. Be careful with your quoting! (Who were you actually replying to? Your reply doesn't seem to make sense in response to either of our emails...)

Hopefully. ;)
Got a couple folks online testing with the current betas now... all the problems we found in the original developer betas appear to have been resolved. Yay!
May be a few more minor things, in which case we may or may not need to do tweaks to work around them. So far, though, MediaWiki is tweak-free on IE 8 -- we use IE's version-based conditional comments to trigger in the IE compat tweaks, and none are present for 8. Let's hope it stays that way. :D
