No, nobody is using it, because it hasn't been released yet.

No, you downloaded a beta version of IE8.

Errors with beta versions are common, and should be expected. Unless
you have a spare machine to play on, running beta software is always a
dangerous thing to do.

Beats me. I have no experience with it.

If you don't get an answer here, you would likely do much better with
your question in a newsgroup for betas.
