Yep that's right. Its here

Gotta say its quite improved since IE7
I have been using it for a while in Windows 7 and its majuscule.
How unfortunate... Meh, I'll stick with FireFox or Chrome.
I always try and get the most recent version of a browser so I'll update tomorrow, if only so I can see how bad website look in it. The Mods site was still messed up last time I checked in RC1.
i have a microsoft, kill script.

it stops any IE/Vista add or update

Xp and 6 forever!
The new version 8 is twice faster than IE 7

It has all been fixed a while back. I already have the beta, no need to upgrade rubbish. Smile Oooh, they added an automatic recover that's been in Firefox for ages. Rolleyes
Decipher it any way you want

Quote:Firefox had more than four times as many browser vulnerabilities as Internet Explorer last year, but Mozilla was much faster to issue patches than Microsoft, according to a report from security firm Secunia.


Internet Explorer had 31 reported vulnerabilities in 2008 compared to Firefox's 115. Safari had 32, while Opera had 30.


In terms of patch issuance, however, Mozilla released patches for three out of three Firefox-related, low-risk advisories. Microsoft, however, released patches for three out of six IE-related advisories.


One serious IE threat, however, went unpatched for up to 110 days after disclosure, Secunia said. The three IE threats deemed by Secunia as low risk remain unpatched.


In terms of browser plug-in problems, ActiveX had the 366 reported vulnerabilities last year. Java had 54 security issues, followed by QuickTime with 30, Flash with 19, and Firefox Extension with one. The Opera Widget had no reported vulnerabilities.

Quote:The company that once bragged about integrating its Web browser with its operating system may eventually want to think about leaving the browser business to other companies.

Quote:IE8 is the last version of the Internet Explorer Web browser. At least, that's what I'm hearing through the grapevine. It seems that Microsoft is preparing to throw in the towel on its Internet Explorer engine once and for all.

If we're here to believe that their's a software that doesn't have bugs, it must have been in a dream. Every software has bugs, it just seems that Firefox's are becoming more visible quicker than IE's.
