The long overdue Internet Explorer 8 is FINALLY released

Today, we’re excited to release the final build of Internet Explorer 8 to the web. It’s now available for download from microsoft.com/ie8. It’s available in 25 languages, across Windows Vista, XP and Server in 32-bit and 64-bit versions

Faster

More secure

IE blocks over a million phishing attacks a month. It also has a huge impact on protecting against malware – our data shows that one in forty users running IE8 have been protected from malware each week. An independent study shows that IE8 protects against twice as many malware attacks as any other browser. IE8 has click-jacking protection, per user ActiveX, cross-browser scripting attack prevention and many other security enhancements that will make end-users’ online lives safer.

And works! (for real), out of the box, and protects it's users!

We discovered that users don’t care about why a browser crashes when it fails, they care about getting back quickly to where they were and minimizing downtime. In IE8, we now have tab crash isolation – when one tab of the browser fails, it doesn’t bring down the entire browser

There are over 1,200 accelerators, web slices and visual search providers out there already today, including Digg, ESPN, OneRiot, Amazon, Sina, TaoBao, and Yahoo.

Here's where you can get rid of your old stupid IE7 and get IE 8

(Did I mention that it's free?)
