Review of the new Internet Explorer 8 web browser

Update 4/30/09: Microsoft has made Internet Explorer 8 available through Windows automatic updates, but it must be manually installed. Updating to Internet Explorer 8 is optional.

The internet web browser is likely the most commonly used program on the computer, and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is the most commonly used web browser. On March 19, 2009, a new version of the popular web browser was released. Internet Explorer 8 has many new privacy, security and navigational improvements.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous article, you should have more than one browser on your computer. As of this writing I have had very little time to evaluate Internet Explorer 8, and am not ready to say whether or not I like it better than my current favorite browser – Mozilla Firefox.

At this time I am providing a link to a full text review of Internet Explorer 8 by Wall Street Journal Personal Technology Columnist Walt Mossberg.
