Personally I have download Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 for my Windows XP Professional early morning and yet for further testing. Frankly speaking I’m fans of Firefox and I won’t switch to another browser for the time being and I will only use IE for those website that not compatible with Firefox. Such a stupid website!

IE8’s new features can actually be categorized into three: interoperability and compatibility, built-in tools that help both first time and experienced developers and designers get pages built right and browser capabilities that enable innovative experiences.

Here are some new features of IE8:

• Crash recovery feature similar to Firefox - IE8 will attempt to restore the last open tabs before system crashed.
• Activities feature - simplifies various tasks such as sending links, web pages, images or snippets to Digg, Windows Live Maps, Facebook, Dictionary.com and other online services sans copying and pasting.
• Web slices - lets users to subscribe to just a portion of a web site, web slices can be embedded into web pages as well as be added to IE8’s favorites bar.
