About Internet Explorer 8
As I noted a few days ago, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) has been released and is now available for download. Once more the benefits of competition are seen. After killing Netscape, Microsoft let Internet Explorer 6 stagnate. Only when the much better Firefox started taking market share did Microsoft make improvements to IE and update to IE7. Firefox was still a better browser and Google released the Chrome browser as well. The pressure from competition has now led to IE8, which is getting some good reviews. Some even say that IE8 has caught up to Firefox. However, making IE8 more standards compliant causes some complications.
If you want to install IE8, first take a look at a post at Security Garden that gives some pointers about installing IE8.
Added later: If you try IE8 and don’t want to keep it, the new Microsoft Fix-it center will show you how to uninstall IE8 and revert to your previous installation.
