rKAnjEL Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Internet Explorer 8 takes the Web experience beyond the page and introduces a new way to seamlessly experience the power of the Web whether you are a Web developer writing to standards, or an end user discovering a new online service. This beta release is available to everyone, but is primarily for Web developers and designers to test the new tools, layout engine, and programming enhancements.Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) has been designed to make everyday tasks easier, provide dynamic security protection and improve the development platform and manageability. End user improvements include a streamlined interface, tabbed browsing, printing advances, improved search functionality, instant feeds (RSS), dynamic security protection, and more.This Beta version of Internet Explorer is for web developers and designers. We invite you to use the resources listed below to learn about the improvements, changes and new features available in this release."This release contains some great advances in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and layout, programming model, performance, reliability, usability and service integration. We are eager to ensure that the transition to Internet Explorer 8 is seamless for you and your audience, and to give you a head start on using many of the new features with your sites and services. We encourage you to test your sites and services, and our platform implementation, and give us feedback!"Developers and designers of all skill levels need great tools to deliver modern websites and write more efficient code without having to switch between the browser and a separate development environment. Internet Explorer 8 includes built-in tools that work well for professionals as well as those trying CSS and scripting for the first time.Debug JavaScript View and change the document object model (DOM) CSS 2.1 Data URI AJAX enhancements including navigation ResourcesNew featuresDownload (XP) - x86 / x64Download (Vista) - x86 / x64Notes:The download link for Vista x64 is Beta 1 not Beta 2...I think.I haven't had time to test this (and probably won't bother) so I can't gurantee it's stability.If you're confused between the x86/x64, then I suggest you stick with the x86, it should work fine for either.

I hate IE7. Only use it if I absolutely have to, which is very rarely. I doubt things are much better in IE8. They just don't get it, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rKAnjEL Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Maxthon2 - end of. ;) ...Clearly needs to be toned down in terms of memory consumtion yet an unadulterated browser experience...Isn't Maxthon based on IE engine? So, even if it has better features but I think it will still has the same security issues that IE suffers from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marik Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Has anyone else noticed that this Beta 2 has just ripped some of the coolest and most usefull Firefox plugins and renamed and claimed them as their own? Peers is now the Search Suggestions, the phishing filter/blocked website screen is now relatively similar, Web Slices is now very similar to cooliris Previews and InPrivate is just ripped from Safari!Honestly, this is Microshit's biggest failure since vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted August 29, 2008 Administrator Share Posted August 29, 2008 Did you notice that Mozilla stole some of the coolist features of Opera and put them in there software? ;) This is also Beta software... so expect performance etc to improve in final builds.
