Internet Explorer 8 is much snappier and far more secure than IE6 and IE7, has many usability improvements, and some innovative features that are not available elsewhereMicrosoft unveiled Internet Explorer 8 at its Mix conference in Las Vegas last week and became a victim of bad timing, when its “secure” new browser was hacked during the Pwn2Own competition at the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver. But my experience with IE8 suggests it will survive this initial stumble. IE8 is much snappier and far more secure than IE6 and IE7, has many usability improvements, and some innovative features that are not available elsewhere.But – and this is important for a new Microsoft program – IE8 doesn’t really look any different from IE7, and it happily picks up bookmarks, toolbars and other plug-ins you have already installed. IE7 users should find IE8 feels just as comfortable.
