Microsoft is about to launch IE8 Final Release at MIX09

Microsoft has made available its next major release of the Internet Explorer product (IE8) today. It is currently about to be launched at MIX09.

Internet Explorer 8 concentrates on User Experience, Security, accelerators and also standards consistancy.

IE8 will be included as part of the Windows 7 OS. However, for the first time since adding browser technology to its operating system, Microsoft will give users the ability to turn off IE8 as a feature in the system. This decision was outlined in a blog post on the Engineering Windows 7 blog. Microsoft is under pressure from an ongoing antitrust case in the European Union to give users more browser choice in Windows.
