Nooooooo! My laptop has an old Intel HD 3000 graphics card. Doesn’t support OpenGL 3.3, so Blender 2.8 won’t work with it.
I guess I’ll just have to wait until I get back from vacation and can use my desktop machine… 
(Even the menus are different enough from 2.79 that I don’t want to “squint” to try to not use 2.8 in the meantime.)
I had the same problem with the latest Godot.
