Enhanced Script and AJAX support (Jscript v5.7 from Internet Explorer 8)
Improved multimedia experience (Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content)
Deeper integration with search

Easy switching between mobile / desktop versions of sites by specifying UA strings.
If you want to do development with IE6 you don't need to wait. An emulator for IE6 is available now.
