Finally we released Internet Explorer 8, the latest, safest and fastest web browser for Windows from Microsoft.
A lot of new changes include
- Available in 25 languages for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 within x86 and x64 editions.
- Performance has been a major area of investment in Internet Explorer 8, and the JavaScript engine itself is 70% faster than the one shipped in IE7.
- Tab crash isolation – when one tab of the browser fails, it doesn’t bring down the entire browser.
- New features includes Full CSS 2.1 Support, accelerators, web slices and provider model for Visual Search.
- There are over 1,200 accelerators, web slices and visual search providers out there already today, including Digg, ESPN, OneRiot, Amazon, Sina, TaoBao, and Yahoo. Get some at http://ieaddons.com
- IE blocks over a million phishing and malware attacks a month. (Check more at: http://www.nsslabs.com/anti-malware/browser-security
Also since it is running in backwards compatibility mode for Intranet sites (fully configurable of course) there is really no reason not to upgrade!!
