How do I sign up to be a beta tester for IE 8

Re: IE 8

 

you don't have to sign up.

type " ie8 " into google.

Select "ie8 beta 2 download" from the dropdown list.

discover that you can't get 2 yet.

check the release status of beta 2 at channel 9.

decide to wait a bit, or download the first beta.

if install a beta, then be willing to reinstall Windows.
