Is ie8 a "released" version now, or is it still considered a "beta" or

IE8 is very new, and therefore is likely less stable than a browser
which has been around for a while.

If you are not sure about whether to upgrade to IE8, why not upgrade
first to IE7, then wait a bit for IE8 to mature, e.g. when something
like IE8 SP1 is released?

Firefox).

for prime time?
