Update Oops! Available now. For those continuing to click the download button, IE8 will be available at 2pm PST, which is 4pm CST, by my SVG clock. More later, but we can confirm that IE8 does not support the XHTML MIME type. My opinion, based on what I’m reading and seeing, Microsoft will never directly support application/xhtml+xml. Or SVG. Or MathML. And will probably cherry pick on what to support for HTML5.
I guess IE8 beta will be available this week to the public. Anne pointed to the IE8 “Readiness” page at Microsoft, though the download links aren’t active. I imagine they’ll be active after today’s MIX08 kickoff keynote.
Speaking of which, Neowin has links to the keynote video stream. They keynote is at 9:30am Pacific time, which is 11:30am my time. Check my SVG clock–if you’re using a browser that supports SVG that is.
I might as well give a heads up that I may not be a particularly good mood later in the day.
