Microsoft has updated the test IE 8 virtual hard drive (VHD) for IE 8 beta 2. Using the VHD and Microsoft's free Virtual PC app lets you create a sandbox to play with IE 8 beta 2.

The VHDs are "temporary", but so far they've been putting new ones up as the old ones expire.

Yeah, I donated yesterday. Should be getting an Obama-Biden car magnet too.
Okay, on the funny side...
