Simple:
- It doesn’t work correctly: Check here and here
- It is a pain in the ass to go from IE8 to IE7 when needed. “The first beta of IE8 has an “Emulate IE7″ button, allowing users to effectively revert to the old browser on pages that don’t render properly.” Steps are explained here.

Haven’t tested this one since I am working mostly on a mac and I don’t wan’t to screw up my VMWare installation with the crappy IE8 Beta, but apparently IE8 is breaking more than maps and now web based email clients have been added to it.

Well, apparently is not that good. According to Mandown IE8 still breaks some mapping websites even when the emulate IE7 button is on.
I haven’t tested this myself, but if it’s true, then we can expect the IE8 will break websites that are already working on IE7 even if we, as developers, tell it to render it as IE7.
Once more, Thanks Microsoft for making our lives so wonderful.
