Internet Explorer 8 Beta With the entire netizen community going ga-ga over announcements of Firefox 3 release and checking out the release candidates, everybody seemed to have missed out the news from Micro$oft last week about their next disaster in the line. It seems Ballmer and his gang will burden us with next beta release of Internet Explorer 8 this August. For now IE 8 looks very much similar to IE 7 and the major changes or additions would be that Micro$oft would be trying to adhere to standards more than what it has been doing all this time. This would also make IE 8 incompatible with the pages which were specifically coded for non-standard versions of previous IE. IE 8 also would introduce us to Web Slices which is somewhat similar to Active Desktop. We can also expect Micro$oft to plug many vulnerabilities and introduce many in this upcoming release.
