Yes, and I wouldn't dream of making changes until IE8 is fixed and
stable. It's the browser that's broken, not the design.

If they are serious about CSS 2.1 support, then it won't do much
good to "fix" well-working CSS 2.1 based designs for their at present
very broken beta. If it stays that broken then I'll probably throw it
back to Quirks mode (without using the meta-switch).

Not normal at all - except for alpha-versions for group/internal testing.

Let's hope so.

4 win-boxes and an iMac, and 10 screens, sure helps while debugging and
testing (especially since I have a slow net-connection that simply can't
be improved until later this year at best).

Having a reasonably fast box as main, and a few cheap or "reclaimed"
ones around in a simple network, will work well for most.
Almost any old box is good enough up to winXP as long as it has
"backbone" and memory enough to run IE/win. Needs loads of memory if you
want to make use of multi-screen and side-by-side comparison across
browser-land without having to switch.
If you buy new boxes you may as well go for 9.5/19" industry models or
something similarly slim/small, and create a compact work-space.

Bookmarked.
