Microsoft Drops Hints on IE8

Posted by samzenpus on from the new-and-improved dept.

benuski writes "Lost in the hype about Microsoft's new Siverlight platform, there has been some information surfacing about IE8. It will include improvements in RSS, CSS, and AJAX support, and will follow Firefox 3 in supporting microformats. Also, the developers are going to try and improve UI customization, which is one of the main criticisms of IE7."

    Now by stable, do you mean that the manner in which it leaks memory and ultimately crashes is well characterized and predictable?

    haven't seen that on Windows since pre1.5. The latest Ubuntu release seems happy with it (2.0.0.3 OotB).

    anyhow, I grew up on Windows - the solution to what you describe is "throw more RAM at it"
