IE8 out today

By Microsoft Subnet on Thu, 03/19/09 - 10:22am.

The eighth version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer is to be released Thursday.

As Network World's John Fontana writes, the new version of the Web browser includes more corporate features, including tools to customize and control the software centrally. It also has new privacy and security features and is integration with Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager.

There has been some speculation lately that IE8 may be the last Internet Explorer, or at least the last one based on current technology.

The new version will be available here at noon Thursday.
