Does this mean what I think it means? Less headaches? Less misery? Is this a loaded update and IE 8 is a disaster? I dont know rather to be happy or weary.....

It's really annoying that while IE7 isn't perfect, it's not as terrible as people suggest and that for developers, it remains IE6 that's the problem because so many users and companies are on systems that won't work above IE6 so this update simply introduces a new unknown in IE8 while doing very little to phase out IE6.
I'm waiting for my next project where I can invoke the updated contract terms I've written which means I can charge extra for Ie6 development (I know, I'm slow to add this) and testing.

wow, good call on the ie6 extra charge.
ie7 isnt bad at all. very few hacks needed. I have not played with ie8 yet. Anyone seen any issues?

IE6 users may be die-hards, like the classic "Finance Guy" problem, where he's the guy who signs your checks, and he refuses to update his IE6 because he's got some ancient incomatible accounting apps from 1998, and if he sees your website looking bad in IE6... argh!

exactly. the fear of "how do i upgrade?" and the IT fear of upgrading might make this moot.

I like the overall interface of IE6 (more simple) compared to IE7, but I do miss the tabs. The reality is that many people still use IE 6.0, including the government. I don't even code for Firefox at work. It's a bit sad. Of course, it's also a bitch to develop a web site for IE 6, as many of you have mentioned.
