Internet Explorer 8 is now available

Microsoft today announced that Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) web browser is now ready and available from their downloads. The browser didn't spend a long time in the Release Candidate mode, meaning that the product was already quite finished at that time.

New features include web accelerators (select text and see options pop up), web slices (automatically follow changes in different sites), compatibility with latest standards, and privacy enhancements among others.

To get the latest version, visit the dedicated IE8 page.
