What Is Internet Explorer 8?
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is the standard Internet browser present in all versions of the upcoming Windows 7 desktop operating system. It will also be offered to Windows Vista and Windows XP users. IE8 will offer the following changes / updates over IE7 :


  • Extensive improvements in the areas of performance and reliability.
  • Monetization opportunities (for OEMs).
  • Visual Search Suggestions, which offers the ability to configure a search provider and additional services into the IE8 search box to search for shopping, news/portal sites, social networks, sports, etc.
  • Web Slices and Accelerators are additional web services within the IE8 monetization ecosystem which content providers have built specifically for IE8. These services will be used (by OEMs) to deliver brand exposure (Editor : Ads?) and content updates to the users.
  • Enhanced user experience, greater user privacy, and security enhancements.

When Will It Be Released?
Microsoft will RTM Internet Explorer 8 in the week of March 16, 2009. The specific RTM date for the Internet Explorer 8 will be announced in March 5 the week of March 9, 2009. Whether this will be a public announcement, or an internal one remains to be seen. You can be sure though that we will keep you informed.
When Microsoft releases IE8 to manufacturing, it will be offered to OEMs as an optional supplement to all Windows XP and Windows Vista operating system products licensed in the OEM channels. This means OEMs will be able to integrate Internet Explorer 8 into their products which are currently shipping with Windows Vista or Windows XP Downgrade pre-installed.
Current users of Windows Vista and Windows XP will also be able to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. However, Microsoft has yet to determine a time frame for the public release via Windows Update. We expect Microsoft to decide by their March 9-13 deadline.

Bueno pero cuando sale y se podrá instalar en versiones de Windows que vengan desde el CD de instalación con el Service Pack 3?
 
Seria bueno que microsoft sorprendiera con un navegador al menos lejanamente parecido al resto de navegadores, es que es increible que a estas alturas de la vida uno tenga que esperar a que una pagina cargue completamente para poder visualizarla, no hay derecho, todos le ganan por ahora hasta firefox que se volvio pesado a comparacion de los nuevos como safari y chrome sigue siendo mil veces mejor.
 
la verdad tengo instalado el IE RC 1 y creo que mejoro mucho por lo menos en velocidad a su version anterior, aunque le falta mucho para estar a las alturas del FF, creo que si hubo una mejora minima ahora a esperar esta version oficial a ver si le hicieron muchos cambios en cuanto a la rc.
 
Valla ay como 6 noticias entre el I7 y I8, y todos los comentarios son de yo prefiero este y yo el otro que este se IX no sirve, que no salga, Como que cansa eso...
 
segun parece la fecha de la version final sera presentada en el MIX09 que se celebrara en Las Vegas del 18 al 20 marzo.. no le demos tan duro al IE, me parece que como cualquier software(incluyendo al firefox) no es perfecto tiene sus puntos negros.. ademas creo q las criticas a los navegadores no se pùeden generalizar ya que cada uno le da un uso distinto.. no se puede comparar lo q dice alguien q se mete por IE a bajar keygen a pàginas insulsas como altacrack y cia. a otro usuario q es mas precavido en cuanto su navegacion..
 
Muchos hablan de que es mas lento que FF y ni siquiera habran probado las betas para tener puntos de vista objetivos....asi si jodidos....
