Thread: Internet Explorer 8

Internet Explorer is now back to get more users with its new addition of Internet Explorer 8, the beta version was actually released March 2008 and now it is released to the public.

Apparently according to Microsoft they say that Internet Explorer 8 is much easier to use, faster and securer than any other browser.

There are many competitors in comparison to Internet Explorer which includes Firefox, Chrome and others, so maybe this may be the way to get its business back with a better version of Internet Explorer.

One of the features of Internet Explorer 8 is the In Private Browsing, which allows a user to browse while the history of sites viewed will not be recorded, so basically online activity is kept a secret and prevents other users to see what has been viewed on the web.

I had used IE 8 with Win 7 beta and i must say that its leaps and bounds better than any browser i have used to this day. I would suggest all valuable board members to take a look at it.

seeing from other threads that Firefox is a favourite for many, is it better than that too, and exactly how?

Actually FF has add-ons for pretty much everything .... If any other browser release any new features FF releases add-on which makes the feature available for Firefox too

Even IE have many add-ons and including many more, but due to being properietary there are less IE Add-ons, but they have started to accept tools and applications developed by others by the way of Codeplex, open source supporter community where developer can share their tools with each other.

Even Microsoft has introduced Live Framework and Live APIs like Google API to make add-ons, widgets and any one can do it..

Everyone Will enjoy Browsing with IE in future with gread Add-on Support.

Checkout the features of new Internet Explorer 8 Internet Explorer 8: Features

I hope there won't be any bugs during installation....like what happened with IE7.
Earlier it was for genuine customers only but later released for all...hope they leant their lesson.

with so many ad-ons already added in FF i can't think of shfting to new browser (sometimes i use chrome too).....

use IE for the websites only comaptible with IE.....

I woul rather wait and watch for atleast 3 months. By that time I'm sure the experts would have developed some virus to exploit the loopholes still present

Thanks for the info

Hi everyone,

My name’s Feran and I’m working with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. I am glad to see that so many are interested in IE8 and have had good experiences with it.

Many of you may already know this, but an update was recently released that will improve Internet Explorer’s reliability for users running the Windows 7 Beta. The update is now available via Windows Update, and can also be downloaded via Microsoft Update. For more information you can check out the IEBlog - blogsdotmsdndotcom/ie/ . The blog will also post something as soon as they do make the announcement about the release of the final version of IE8.

I hope this helps!
