Internet Explorer The IE team at Microsoft has released the 2nd beta Internet Explorer 8. Contrary to the first beta, which was aimed at developers, this one one is aimed at normal people like you and me. The list of new features and changes is decent, all focused around three themes (marketing alert): "We focused our work around three themes: everyday browsing (the things that real people do all the time), safety (the term most people use for what we've called 'trustworthy' in previous posts), and the platform (the focus of Beta 1, how developers around the world will build the next billion web pages and the next waves of great services)." Go get it.

It is still dog slow, but some features are really nice.

Most people that still use IE will love it.

Firefox lovers will demand the good features from mozilla.org ;)

Nice part about Firefox, we can get Addons in the mean-time that do the extra things we want (like the private mode).
