Fed up with IE 7 crashing and loosing all the tabs you had open? IE 8 is much improved in this respect, one tab crashing doesn't always bring the rest down, and if you need to close it all down again it'll reopen with all the old tabs there.
It's still in Beta so is only really recommended for testing purposes on non-essential machines, but I've been running it for a few weeks on my laptop and haven't had any major problems, certainly no more than I had on IE7 before!
