Microsoft will make the latest version of Internet Explorer, the world’s most popular web browser, available for download from 4pm (GMT) today (Thursday).
Microsoft claims that the Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is faster, more user-friendly and more secure than previous versions.
Steve Ballmer, the chief executive officer of Microsoft, said: “With Internet Explorer 8, we are delivering a browser that gets people to the information they need, fast, and provides protection that no other browser can match.”
One of the key new features of IE8 is “Accelerators”, which allow surfers to perform common tasks, such as looking up an address on a map, without navigating first to a separate website. Web users can also keep an eye on their favourite sites by using “Web Slices”, which are stored in the redesigned favourites bar and flash when a site is updated....Originally posted by member "mattbrawn":

PC lovers rejoice, Microsoft have just released the latest version of Internet Explorer 8 and unsurprisingly they're claiming it's their best ever, saying it's quicker, more user friendly and more secure, but they're bound to say that...
Despite hardly knowing anyone that uses IE, it's apparently still used as the main browser on 67% of the world's machines, I know, I thought everyone used Firefox as well.
So that's 67% of the computer owning world who can now benefit from IE8's main new feature, the 'Accelerators.' Despite sounding a bit like a watered down flux capacitator, these new 'Accelerators' sound pretty cool (and that's coming from a Machead!) they allow internet surfers to conduct 'common tasks' (i.e looking up an address on a map) without having to navigate to a new page. The other new feature that sounds pretty cool is “Web Slices," these let the users keep an eye on their favourite sites, all neatly stored away in a revamped favourites bar.
The chief executive officer of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer said: “With Internet Explorer 8, we are delivering a browser that gets people to the information they need, fast, and provides protection that no other browser can match.”
Unfortunately Steve, you'll have to work harder to get me to switch back to Microsoft. Anyone really looking forward to the new IE?PC lovers rejoice, Microsoft have just released the latest version of Internet... more
