Microsoft ready with near-final IE 8
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Monday released a near-final "release candidate" version of Internet Explorer 8, the next version of its Web browser.
The software maker plans to say more on its Web site around noon, but, as noted by enthusiast site Neowin, the code is already available from Microsoft's download center.
Among the new features in IE 8 is a browsing mode known as InPrivate, designed not to leave fingerprints on a PC. With IE 8, Microsoft is hoping to regain some lost ground by adding features such as private browsing, improved security, and a new type of add-ons, called accelerators.
