Are any of you testing sites with IE8 yet? Browsershots.org has an option for it as does iecapture.com, and my latest site breaks down completely in the rendered image, despite rendering fine in 18 of the other bigger version n and n-1 browsers.
Is the rendering engine pretty much as it will be at release? I remembered that Microsoft will require designers to use the tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
to render in IE7 mode and adding this helped, but it looks like my css text menu still breaks down badly. (Edit: believe this is down to conditional css)
I'm displeased at the thought of having to rework countless sites because IE8 renders sites differently to every other browser. They cite compliance to more modern standards

Are the standards mentioned not backwards compatible?
Interested in your thoughts.
