IE8 a FF Killer?

I just downloaded the beta for IE8, and although kinda slow (duh, its a beta) it looks equil, if not better than FireFox. Its got tabs, quick tabs, and a new feature called "webslices"

I don't want to give away to much, I recommend everyone downlaoding the beta and trying it out, you won't be displeased.
You can download it here:
IE8

As you can see in the screen shot, its very very pretty. That green feed symbol around the top digg stories is the webslice thing. (click on the image for a bigger view)

The only drawback I've seen so far (in the 5 minutes I've been using it) is that theres no spellcheck...but I'm shure that a simple plugin will fix that :).

If Microsoft keeps adding new features and stays on the track that it's on right now, I'm looking foward to a very, very interesting browser, that might even make me make the big swich from FF to IE...
