The pros:-

- Tab grouping.

- Compatibility mode whitelisting (better than having to run IE7 mode all the time).

- search suggestions.

- and of course the inprivate browsing.

Cons:-

- Inprivate browsing spawns a new window, would have preferred that it spawned a new tab (after all, IE8 is now multithreaded right).

- switching search engines while a keyword is still inside the search box will cause IE to automatically search the keyword in the newly selected search engine.

@ Ryan: Technically that isn't meant to popup, it's just ASP.net AJAX seems to like doing that, I will add a loading image tho :-)

BTW I suggest using a loading icon from ajaxload.info to supplement the loading promt after submiting a comment.

Is there a way to install IE8 alongside of IE7?

I love the idea of grouping tabs so u can keep up with where a list of tabs came from
