From poking around some support forums, it looks like the beta versions of IE8 would not function properly if you had certain non-default options in your boot.ini file. I'm guessing that in the RC, they tried to fix this by rewriting the boot.ini to a default state. Perhaps this process failed due to non-default permissions on that file.
- smhinsey 17y agoYou might be on to something here. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a boot flag (PAE is a common troublemaker) that causes some sort of problem for IE's new process isolation feature, which I understand to be a real rabbit hole.
