Internet Explorer 8 has been released

So Internet Explorer 8 has been released. It’s been on the cards for a while now, and now it’s here. Boasting sev­eral new fea­tures includ­ing a “Compatibility View” (allow­ing users to view pages in older ver­sions of the browser) and visual search sug­ges­tions in the search box (in a sim­ilar fash­ion to an auto-​​complete script) amongst others.

Just when you thought browser com­pat­ib­ilty test­ing was a labor­i­ous task, another web browser pops onto the scene. Internet Explorer con­di­tional com­ments will hope­fully adapt to reflect the addi­tion of IE8, allow­ing users to cus­tom­ise their CSS and XHTML code for the spe­cific browser… as well as pos­sibly notify users of their browser of choice.

I’d love to read your opin­ions on this release. I look for­ward to test­ing IE8 and see­ing how it renders my web code.
