A Business Case for IE 8?

Internet Explorer 8 is available on the Web now. My colleague Kurt Mackie has a lot of detail on what went into this release in his news story here. There's also an IE 8 page for partners on the Microsoft Partner Portal with FAQs here (registration required). New features include Web Slices, Accelerators, the IE 8 Gallery and Visual Search.

Do these features, or others, matter to your customers? Do you have any ideas for making these features matter to your customers? Let me know at [email protected].
