It is apparent that Microsoft was falling behind in the competition of browsers. Not too long ago, we had Firefox 2, from Mozilla, and later we had the Chrome, from google. The browsers compete for productivity, speed, and best of all, reliability in the worst case. Internet Explorer, from Microsoft, happens to be one of the most popular browsers, yet it hasn’t always lived up to the new trend of technology.

According to Microsoft, IE8 is more secure, allows users to cut down on common tasks and will be an integral part of its new coming operating system, windows 7.

What does IE 8 have?

Simple Searching- You can perform wel-related tasks directly from the page by right clicking a word or phrase.

The New IE can follow news headlines and track eBay auctions, weather forecasts and blog posts with a feature called Web Slice.

I am not sure if I am going back with IE, as I am safe and sound with firefox. It’s a personal choice- some like it fast, while others like it packed.
