As my primary computer is using the Windows 7 beta, I cannot upgrade to IE8 final at this time. If I do, then I will lose Windows 7 specific functionality such as task bar integration and jump lists.

I don't have a technet or MSDN account so have to wait until this week to download the Release Candidate of Windows 7 to update my IE8 installation. I do use the IE8 beta on occasion on my computer but my primary browser is Firefox at this time.

There is no reason to want to downgrade to IE7 after the upgrade. If a page doesn't work in IE8 then click the "Compatibility" button in the address bar. There is no reason to give up W3C Recommendation compliance and downgrade though.
