As Microsoft counts down the final days to when it feels Internet Explorer 8 is ready for public use, you can take a look at what's coming in this slideshow of IE8's first Release Candidate.
Compatability View is a toggle button that appears on the toolbar when some elements of a website don't render properly. It automatically forces a change of rendering engine from IE8 to IE7 to keep the page looking as it should.
Here, you can see that although Microsoft's own home page views correctly, Google.com and even Download.com both get the Compatibility View treatment as indicated by the presence of the broken-page icon.
