[LINK] Internet Explorer V8

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

Hi all,

Microsoft has released a second test version of Internet Explorer 8.. the
latest version - beta 2 - of Internet Explorer comes with new features to
enhance privacy, ease-of-use, and security.  http://www.microsoft.com/ie8

This latest version of Internet Explorer replicates features found in 
Firefox 3, the latest version of that web browser, including a "smart" 
address bar that remembers and redirects user to website addresses they 
have visited before.

Internet Explorer 8 also offers a mode called "InPrivate Browsing", which 
ensures that history, temporary internet files and cookies are not 
recorded on a user's PC.

There is also a security feature that allows a user to block content 
coming from third-parties trying to track and aggregate the user's online 
behavior.

Microsoft also updated already announced features such as "Activities", 
which allows a user to use information found on one page, such as an 
address, in conjunction with an online service such as mapping without 
leaving the original site.

The latest test release of Internet Explorer 8 is available for download
for free here: http://www.microsoft.com/ie8
