Microsoft made public the Internet Explorer 8 RC1 (release candidate 1) saying its much faster, easier to use and more safe than other browsers…
In fact.. Microsoft said that it is the “Most secured browser in the market“.
One feature microsoft is so happy about is the “InPrivate Browsing”.. which is somewhat simillar to Google Chrome’s “Incognito” browsing.
They also have this “accelerators” which speeds up your browsing experience..
The new Accelerators in Internet Explorer 8 help you quickly perform your everyday browsing tasks without navigating to other websites to get things done.

I’m still downloading my copy of IE8. A big 16.2 MB download file. You can download a copy of Internet explorer 8 here.
But based from their press release and what’s written on their site… i think this is going to make people come back to using Internet Explorer.

Nah, walang IE8 for Linux.
Sa palagay ko, at least for regular Internet users, Mozilla Firefox has been the benchmark of a good browser. Highly customizable kasi at stable. I’ve read that Microsoft improved IE8s addon manager — iisipin na mga tao na ginaya lang yun sa Mozilla Firefox addons kahit matagal ng may addons ang IE.
I think Microsoft has yet to prove na deserving siyang maibalik sa kanila ang huge marketshare ng web browsers. Let’s wait and see kung papatok ito.
