Number 8 used to be popular number among Chinnesse (and even otherraces), because  of its relation with ‘luck’ .  So , will Internet Explorer 8 has that ‘luck’ this year?

In case you have not heard about this, the final piece of web browser from Microsoft, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is officially released and available for download started last night.

Microsoft touted IE8, as the best ever Internet Explorer version it ever developed. On the eve of the final release, Microsoft create a series of test to demo that it is, as fast as other browser.

IE8 also said to provide the best security protection as quoted by NSS Labs “NSS Labs indicates that Internet Explorer 8 blocks two to four times as many malicious sites as other browsers on the market today.”

In term of usability and productivity, Internet Explorer 8 comes with accelerator, web slices, visual search suggestion, private browsing, colour tab and etc.

But, off all these interesting features, Microsoft forgot, how the human being are, when a buggy message could kill all the curiosity an excitement toward it.

Even during installation, you’re already ‘hammered’ with the message requesting you to install an update. Why this message there? Potential bug to covered?  That update is for Vista!!

This remind me back of 1 tips that one of my guru said to me – ‘Target MSN/Live traffic (usually use Internet Explorer as default seach engine or ‘home’), because the users are either who’re  new to the technology or not technology savvy‘ 

Clearly, Internet Explorer 8 is for these peoples..
