Microsoft has launched their newest product, Internet Explorer 8 beta 1. This product can be downloaded here. Even though this product provided for developers for testing program, Microsoft lets netter to download for taking part in testing their product too.

Not all series of windows can use this new product. This product is made for Microsoft Windows Vista® Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Vista, Windows XP® Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Server® 2008 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). That’s mean this product is not compatible for Windows XP® Service Pack 1 (SP1) or lower version.

Microsoft said that they have made huge improvement in IE 8. It is what makes IE 8 better than the previous generations. The most important of all is IE 8 will default to being compliant with web standards after all. It’s a good new of course for web developers. So they won’t feel worry anymore about their page views.

The others new features of IE 8 are Facebook, eBay and Live Maps integrated and more supported in AJAX technology. Based on my own experience, there is nothing different in displaying page when we use IE 8 or others web browsers like Firework and Safari except some div problems like what happens with this blog when displayed in IE 8 Beta 1.
