Windows Update Fails with iE8 Beta
 

According to users and even Microsoft, Windows Update and the recently released (http://technologyexpert.blogspot.com...xplorer-8.html) Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) beta don't work well together. What you'll see is an error message telling you to install IE5 or later (above, click to enlarge).

It doesn't really surprise me that something like this, as Microsoft indicated that the default mode for IE8 would be "standards-compliant," and that unless developing you should switch to IE7 emulation mode.
