Will IE 8 be a better browser?
The current buzz in Microsoft right now has much to do with Windows 7, which is largely seen as a response to the mediocre performance of Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows Vista. In the same vein, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which is currently at version 7, isn’t receiving good reviews anywhere, and is being trumped by Mozilla’s Firefox 3 and Google’s new browser, Chrome.
This is why there is Internet Explorer 8, which is still in the works, but is set to be released in its finality sometime in March. It boasts a faster performance that is set to rival (or maybe surpass) its contemporaries, and easier user interface controls and a much sleeker, cooler look. Parental controls have also been a major feature of IE 8, as well as a host of other features that Microsoft hopes will win back the hearts of internet users around the world.
