Yeah, most of you don't give a shit but IE8 is out.

I am excited because IE8 comes with a private browsing feature that allows me to more easily do my job.

Information & Download:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer

What you should know:
It isn't the fastest browser.
It isn't going to pass all the Acid tests.
It isn't going to be the lightest browser.
It is better than IE7.
It is a step in the right direction.
It is pretty damn secure.
It installs easily.

How reliable is that, it's a Microsoft Product isn't it? If you're gonna need privacy you might as well burn an iso of slax go to a friends computer boot from cd instead of HD then tell it to not mount the HD while running through the prompts to get the GUI running etc etc blah blah blah.

You could also use WinPE on a thumbdrive to get this done. It isn't a reasonable method for most people to use their computers though.
