> I'm pretty sure that MS acknowledges that IE8 does not yet run stably in Win7. I'm sure they'll address that quickly, but I haven't seen it yet.

Consider this from:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/default.aspx

We’re sorry, but you won’t be able to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 Beta at this time.

Windows 7 Beta already includes a pre-release candidate version of Internet Explorer 8 that is optimized for that release. Windows 7 enables unique features and functionality in Internet Explorer 8 including Windows Touch and Jump Lists which require additional product tests to ensure we are providing the best Windows experience for our customers.

We will continue to update the version of Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows 7 as the development cycles of Windows 7 progress and plan to include the final version of Internet Explorer 8 in the release candidate version of Windows 7 later this year.

Build 7057 (close to RC) included the release version of IE8, this is what I’m using.
