There is a new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer available,
IE 8. This is what WindowsSecrets has to say.
Even though IE 8 adds some useful
security features, its continued reliance on ActiveX makes the browser
vulnerable in its very foundation. There's no doubt that IE 8 is a much better
browser than IE 7. Nevertheless, it's still inferior to Firefox and other
alternatives. As to whether you should upgrade to IE 8 now or later, my
advice is to use Firefoxinstead of either version.
