The IE team at Microsoft has released the 2nd beta Internet Explorer 8. Contrary to the first beta, which was aimed at developers, this one one is aimed at normal people like you and me. The list of new features and changes is decent, all focused around three themes (marketing alert): "We focused our work around three themes: everyday browsing (the things that real people do all the time), safety (the term most people use for what we've called 'trustworthy' in previous posts), and the platform (the focus of Beta 1, how developers around the world will build the next billion web pages and the next waves of great services)." Go get it.

So we now have 2 browsers (of major 4) that can actually fully pass Acid 2 test: IE8 beta 2 and Opera 9.5x.
Safari 3.1.x and Firefox 3.0.x both fail ("nose" is still off by a few pixels compared to the reference rendering). Funny.
See it here:

Open both links ("Take The Acid2 Test" and "the reference rendering") in 2 tabs and then switch quickly - watch the nose: FF and Safari fail.
