First Look of Internet Explorer 8

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2008 at 11:24am

Now that Internet Explorer 8 has come for almost a day, let us take a look at the First Look at it.
Before the video, few points to mention:

Installation time is almost the same as IE7 in Windows XP.
After Installation IE8 also prompts to restart the computer.
After you restart and open IE, it prompts to import Mozilla and Opera browser settings to Internet Explorer.
Lookwise it is somehow similar to IE7, however a bit slicker than the previous one.
There is an option to get back to IE7 look and feel.
One issue faced is: when I try to open browser homepage, it goes to MS site in the current tab and opens it in a different tab. Also the control remains in the current tab showing the Microsoft IE8 page.
