Internet Explorer 8
Ready for IE8?
Microsoft’s latest browser upgrade, Internet Explorer 8, is here. The official market release schedule is 4PM GMT on Thursday, 19th March. However, a release candidate has already been made available to the public since January, allowing people to download, install, and play around with the new browser.

I have IE7 installed but have never felt like actually using it. But this newest offering from Microsoft has me curious, especially with the promise of a faster, safer, and more enhanced browsing experience.
