When will Microsoft come out with a completely finished version of Internet Explorer 8?

Question

I want to get the new Internet Explorer 8 Beta, but when I researched it a lot of people said to wait because it's not completely finished and there may be some bugs in it. Is that true, and does anyone know when it'll be completely finished and available for download to the public? Thanks
