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.
