[UPDATE] Early uninquisitive articles did applause the new version, but once the excitement faded, detailed reviews only seemed to be voicing dissapointment. The 8th release of Internet Explorer finally passes the Acid test straight out of the box… well actually Acid2, not Acid3 like the competition. Springing from the worst browser lineage -ever- in the history of Internet security, IE8 is said to feature at last some security improvements.
I run IE7 on XP at work, and the application needs restart at least 3 times a day… when it does not crash. Internet Explorer is developed by a team that has complete access to all the operating system specifications, unlike third-party developers, and yet they still manage to mess it up. I don’t know if IE8 will be more stable, but it doesn’t offer the same range of free addons as Firefox or Opera. Last time I tried to look for an IE plugin I was asked to pay for it.
