Microsoft IE8 Program Manager Allison Brunett is calling out for more IE8 beta testers:
As previously mentioned in the IE8 Beta Feedback post back in March, we have several ways to submit feedback on the IE8 Beta. Currently the only way to directly file a bug with the IE Team is to be a part of the IE8 Technical Beta program on Microsoft Connect . Beta 2 is right around the corner and we are expanding our reach! If you wish to be a part of making IE better by contributing great bug reports then please email us at IESO@microsoft.com and tell us a little about yourself including why you’d be a great beta tester.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Allison Burnett
Program Manager
The only way I'll understand that you haven't yet heard of Mojave is if you have been relaxing on some remote beach without WiFi for the last couple of days.

Over the course of three days, Microsoft showed 120 Mac, Linux, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 users in San Francisco an HP Pavilion DV 2000 with 2GB of RAM that had on it a "new" version of Windows, codenamed "Mojave."
Microsoft is set to strike back at Apple and others who have spent the last year and a half criticizing its Windows Vista operating system.
We wrote about Vista’s image problem last winter, when the operating system was facing a barrage of negative press and a clever ad campaign by Apple that alleged Vista was a failure and full of problems. At the time, Microsoft told us that it had no plans for a counteroffensive or even to defend itself against the charges. Instead of acknowledging the attack ads, Microsoft hoped to change minds by continuing to talk up Vista’s benefits.
Microsoft Corp. is launching a subscription-based version of its Office software for U.S. consumers, as competitors crowd in on its core desktop product suites.
The Redmond, Wash., software giant said Wednesday the new service, called Equipt, combines office tools such as its Microsoft Word word-processing program and the Excel spreadsheet application. The product, which will also include security and maintenance software, will initially be available only in the U.S. starting July 15.
