Publisher's Description

Internet Explorer has been designed to make everyday tasks easier, provide dynamic security protection and improve the development platform and manageability. End user improvements include a streamlined interface, tabbed browsing, printing advances, improved search functionality, instant feeds (RSS), dynamic security protection, and more.

Internet Explorer provides improved navigation through tabbed browsing, web search right from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds, and much more. It also provides security through a robust new architecture, security features that help defend against malicious software, and new ways to better protect against the theft of personal data from fraudulent websites. It has improved support for cascading style sheets, a rich RSS feeds platform, and robust tools for deploying and managing Internet Explorer 7 in large enterprise environments.

no one had a problem with the sidebar of vista 64 after the install of IE 8 ?
cause my sidebar crashes all the time with IE 8 installed, impossible to use it.
hopefully i made a backup before i installed this IE 8, like always when i'm trying something new on my OS.

I downloaded mine directly from Microsoft yesterday and it is working great on my 64 bit rig.

I have to deduct one star for the lack of adblock option. Until they fix that issue, it's Maxthon for me.

Works really well on my *64 system. A lot faster than IE7 and IE8 Beta 1. It looks nice and less cluttered.

The majority of sites that don't currently render correctly are down to bad coding by the web designer. Most seem to have got their act together and coded correctly when IE7 was released. I am sure that the other designers that have sat back for so long will eventually sort their code out.
These days sites should be coded to work correctly in all the main browsers.

Good Job on Microsoft for designing a good browser at last. They have rose to the challenge, now it is left for those remaining web designers to sort their code out!

Still has a long way to go.. I'm having rendering problems on most sites as of now. Hopefully it'll be ironed out by the time the next beta is out, or maybe it's just a problems with the websites themselves since IE8 defaults to "standards" mode. Overall, I like what i see..
