My name is Jeff and I work with the Windows Outreach Team. Here is the aforementioned patch for interested parties- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962921 . @Jeremy- There are a lot of people who would agree with you. Microsoft is trying to strike a balance between a quick release yet finished functionality with IE8 and hopefully this balance is found soon.

I've been using Firefox since I first heard about it a few years ago, but IE8 is substantially faster than IE7 (which you still have to use to do Windows Updates on older machines). I just hope they dramatically improve the speed of the installer this time around. Waiting 10 minutes for a single program to install (especially one that's not spanning multiple DVDs like Photoshop) is nuts.
