IE8 Beta Released To Public
Tim writes "English, German, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese versions of Internet Explorer 8 have been released for public beta. New features include accelerators, which provide instant context menu access for a number of common tasks; automatic crash recovery, which prevents a single page's failures from taking down your entire browser; and browser privacy, a feature that didn't make Firefox 3. I'm primarily a Firefox user, and I've been using IE8 at work (MS) for the past few weeks. It's a definite improvement over previous versions, and brings a lot to the table that Firefox requires extensions for. Give it a spin, submit feedback, and help keep all browser makers on their toes by facing each other's competition."
You want MS to provide a linux version so that you can either state your intent to never install it, or so that you can sh*t on it? I'm sure they'll get right on that...
Why? Did you find a gaping security hole?

I was going to ask what the root of the word "nice" had to do with the study of insects, but I guess that proves your point. :)

I think that's why they call it a beta.
Now you can shop for that special gift with confidence knowing your family won't accidentally find out.
Yeah, that's what "InPrivate Browsing" is gonna be used for.

In that case, they would have released it in Klingon. Everyone who I know who speaks even a small amount of Klingon, uses Firefox.
It's an insider joke: Die IE8, Die IE8!
Excellent feature that will definitely be craved by many Slashdot users, and not because of the gift shopping or use of public terminals.
Nah, we have no girlfriends or wives to hide our porn browsing from. We wear our pr0n history like a badge of honor.

its good to know what the common tasks are...
New slashdot layout sucks.

Que?
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells by the seashore.
A large portion of Spanish speakers (e.g. Latin America) live in extreme poverty, so I doubt they'll all be downloading IE8 Beta anytime soon.
But, it's free!

I think my dad is at home right now, why? Or did you mean, "Wer is ihr Vater?"
That's half the language. If you study the Klingon learning tapes, that is the first thing they teach you.
You know what, screw this stuff. I'm just gonna fast forward a few thousand/millon years...
