Microsoft’s next-generation web browser Internet Explorer 8, has arrived. In a surprising move, after the demo of IE8 and its new features at today’s session of the MIX08 conference, the startling announcement was made: “It’s available for download now”. The new browser showcases many new features and improvements, like Facebook and eBay integration, standards compliance, and the ability to work with AJAX web pages. What’s most notable about IE8, though, is more than a sum of its parts. If anything, this launch shows that Microsoft is not taking Firefox’s creep into browser market share lightly.
What I think is particularly interesting from a domainer’s perspective is the browser’s Domain Highlighting feature. This is a technology that highlights the top-level-domain in the address bar by making it bold and black. This way it stands out from the rest of the URL, which is written in gray.
You can download the new browser here, but be careful as this is still an early beta version which might not be stable and which might still include some bugs.

Nice to know that MS has released a new browser – I still prefer the Firefox Browser instead of the MS version.
