Re: SP3 final Verision #

That was true when installing IE8 on the SP3 beta and RC but not the reverse. If IE8 beta is already installed on XP SP2 then XP SP3 installs OK. I just did it in one of vms.

And if you're running IE8 Beta 1, you want to uninstall it before you install WinXP SP3.

For anyone using IE8 beta 1, don't forget to use the IE7 emulation mode when
