IE 8, Silverlight betas highlight Mix 08

TechTarget

As expected: IE 8 and Silverlight are taking center stage at Microsoft’s Mix 08 show in Vegas. So far, company execs announced that beta 1 of Internet Explorer 8 is out or will be soon and Silverlight beta 2 is ready for download.

BetaNews has a blow-by-blow of today’s Ray Ozzie and Scott Guthrie keynotes if you can’t wait.

IE 8, which will now be much more standards friendly, also has a bunch of new features including WebSlices.
