Microsoft has made available the IE8 Readiness Toolkit for download. This beta 1 version of IE8 is focused on developers and the User Interface is still similar to IE7. Expect the UI to change a little in future IE8 beta releases.

You can download the toolkit from:  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/readiness/Install.htm

Since this is an early beta and developer focused, this should not be installed on production machines. This is meant to be installed on development machines, or lab machines for testing.
