On Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Platforms:

* Open the Windows Control Panel and click Add or Remove Programs
* Select Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 and click Remove
* Your computer will be reverted to IE6 + previous IE6 security updates or IE7 + previous IE7 security updates
* You can confirm that by going to Tools->Help About next time you launch IE
* Be sure to check for any new security updates

Now you are ready to install IE 8

You don't need to uninstall the previous one...Setup will automatically do that.
The complete installation package is of course available directly from Microsoft.

You can get it HERE :

Windows XP x86
