The interface of Internet Explorer 8 hasn't changed that much compared to older versions, except for one small detail the menu bar is back and shows up by default again.
One of them, the ' Suggested sites' function, recommends new websites you may not know about, based on your browsing history. It comes in really handy for tracking small changes that can't be followed by RSS, without having to visit the site: online auction bids, stock exchange values, weather information and more.īesides these two tools, Internet Explorer 8 also includes many interesting new features. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 users should consider downloading and installing Internet Explorer 9 instead for their operating system as it has been released for it as well and is considered to be superior to IE8.Regarding Internet Explorer's Web Slices, these are a kind of RSS-style tool that tracks changes and updates to selected websites and keeps you informed about them.
Update: Download links are still working. Select the desired language for Internet Explorer 8 from the list, and then the operating system you want to download the web browser for. Users who prefer other languages should follow the link that I posted above that leads to the official site with the language choice pulldown menu. Just pick your operating system and the download should start immediately. Those links are direct download links to Internet Explorer 8. Here are some download links for Internet Explorer 8 English: Microsoft is offering a selection based download of Internet Explorer 8 on the official site that lets users pick their language and operating system from a list. It is however very like that Internet Explorer 8 will be included in upcoming Windows 7 builds (update: indeed, Microsoft did include Internet Explorer 8 natively so that Windows 7 users do not need to download the browser as it is already installed on their system). Windows 7 users who want to download Internet Explorer 8 are greeted with a message telling them that they will not be able to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Beta at this time. Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 8 for various Windows operating systems including Windows XP and Windows Vista but Windows 7. Even more interesting is the fact that Microsoft is not only distributing it as a web download but also through official update channels like Windows Update. They did that which surprised many tech savvy users as it was generally given that the release would be in the second half of this year and not the first. Yesterday we mentioned that Microsoft would release the final version of Internet Explorer 8 later that day on the official website.
