I have tested WB with IE8 beta 2 on Vista 32 and it works correctly.  Tabs do not skin, but thats due to Microsoft hardcoding new tab designs vs using the OS theme.

What version of WB are you running?

To quote Philly and Zubaz (Ken Kwilas, too   ):

"Nothing on earth is forcing you to install the beta versions. It can get rough on the bleeding edge. "

-- Kris Kwilas, 'Essays on Mind and Matter

What's the rush to use ie, or any Beta? FF3 has great extensions like "stealthier fox"...
so I don't get it...

I do hope someone at Stardock is going to find a way around that... I tried IE8 and immediately uninstalled it beacuse of the unskinned tabs. I have a BLACK theme, and shiny silver tabs look fugly in contrast to it, and ya know Microsoft is gonna make IE8 mandatory eventually. And, yeah I know I could use Firefox, but Firefox is never skinned properly, either, cause it has it's own skinning system.
