I tried the Beta and I couldn't stand the layout hence I removed it from my system. It's pretty early though to condemn it based on a Beta.

I don't want to give the wrong impression. I have not tried the beta. I was just posting the news article. I found it interesting reading. These points were the most interesting to me.
"The most critical point in Wilson's post, in my mind, is Microsoft's admission that it will fail the crucial Acid2 browser-compliance test , which the Web Standards Project (WaSP) designed to help browser vendors ensure that their products properly support Web standards."
And
"Microsoft blames backward-compatibility problems for the stalemate over true Web standards compatibility. Put succinctly, the company has gone its own way for so long and now has to support so many developers who use nonstandard Web technologies that it will be impossible to make IE Web-standards-compliant without breaking half the commercial Web sites on the planet."
And the author's opinion -
"My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators."
