title: IE8's rendering of transparent pngs is FUBARed on my site
body: <p>I just downloaded the IE8 full release so I could test a site I just created. 
  [Example Deleted]</p>
  
  <p>Focus on the left sidebar background image. It is suppose to be a 1x1 semi-transparent .png image that repeats. IE8 renders it as a gradient!!! It get's even wonkier when you try to scroll your window or mouse-over the sidebar.</p>
  
  <p>I had already tested this site in the normal browsers (IE7, Firefox, and Chrome). It looks exactly as I designed it in these. IE8 is FUBARed though. I tried to set IE8 to "IE7" mode but it still looks crappy. IE 8 in IE7 mode obviously isn't rendering the same way as the real IE7. Not even the "IE7 meta tag" works. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else had problems like this? I thought IE8 was supposed to be a an improvement, not a step backwards. </p>
  
  <p>P.S. Please excuse the crappy markup on this page. I used IE's "save entire page" feature.</p>
