IE 8.0 first impressions

So one of the first things we are seeing in the MIX keynote is IE 8.0 which seems to be more about standards and helping developers do better work. So far we got some CSS 2.1 support, HTML 5, in proved perf especially with script, more itegrated debugging tools and visual related tools directly in IE if a user wants. there are better tools for users like being able to select text and IE will provide services tools based on the text. That sounds problematic but seeing it work is really cool. And web slices are cool.
