As most of you probably already know, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 made its debut a few days ago. The sparks are already flying in the developer world and some aren't too happy right now. We're one of the websites affected with incompatibilities in IE8, even though we're 100% validated. I think it's safe to say that developers all around the world have a tough time ahead of them.

Among various websites that are not rendering properly due to IE8, quite a few Windows Live web-based services are also affected. Windows Live QnA looks like the hardest site hit, along with Windows Live Hotmail, Live Search Maps, and Live.com. We've been informed that the teams are working on some updates, and if you have any reports to send please send them via the Windows Live Feedback site.

We smell a few beta updates soon, keep your eyes peeled!
