@ Ramesh: I beat you to the announcement a few posts back.

There's a handy support page for IE8 here as well.

This is not a very flattering review.

Whats new in this release ?

Changes in RC1 include the following:

· ClickJacking protection. The SmartScreen Filter now includes the ability to help detect and prevent “ClickJacking” which is a malicious technique of tricking web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer.

· InPrivate™. Helps to protect user’s data and privacy from being retained “locally” on a PC. InPrivate Browsing and InPrivate Filtering can now be used independently.

· Performance improvements. Reduces the time that users must wait when starting the browser, opening a “new tab”, or loading a page.

· User interface and experience updates. There have been several user interface changes to help ensure a better user experience.


btw, when I installed it and rebooted, all my user profile settings reverted to default ... strange. Any one have any idea why it happened ? So I uninstalled IE8 rebooted. That bought back my settings; and then again installed this IE8. Now things are OK.
