About a year after the first beta (which was followed by another beta and a release candidate), Microsoft has announced the release of the final version of Internet Explorer 8, the company's newest browser. The focus of Internet Explorer 8 is better standards compliance, security, and making "common online tasks faster and easier".

I agree for the most part. In fact I am writing this post from IE8 and its decent. I ran some javascript benchmarks and looks like it is definitely quicker than IE7 was but still a bit behind when compared to Firefox 3. However I dont see any speed differences when it comes to browsing experience. I still dont understand what it means when people say that the browser feels faster...is it startup time or page render time? I guess I cannot tell the difference between Firefox loading up a page and IE8 loading up a page because it seems on my machine they all load up equally as fast.
