Time for some breaking news, as Microsoft announced that today the company will offer for download the final version of Internet Explorer 8!
Internet Explorer 8, the browser that will come standard with Microsoft upcoming Windows 7, its been in Beta for long time now, letting Mozilla's Firefox, Google's Chrome Apple's Safari and Opera Browser making as much noise as possible.

IE8 will be available in 25 languages from http://www.microsoft.com/ie8 starting at 12:00 noon today March 19.

"Customers have made clear what they want in a Web browser safety, speed and greater ease of use," said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. "With Internet Explorer 8, we are delivering a browser that gets people to the information they need, fast, and provides protection that no other browser can match."

After installed Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows Vista 64bit laptop my Vista Sidebar stopped working. The problem seems to be an XML or Java communication error with the sidebar after installing IE8.

Many people faced that problem after the IE8 installation on Windows Vista x64, following is the solution for that problem:
This behavior is observed if the XML registration is missing in the system. To fix the problem, use the following steps:

• Close Windows Sidebar. To do so, right-click on the Sidebar icon in the Notification area and click Exit (if your sidebar crashes, or you do not see it at all, skip this step)
• Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do so, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
• In the Command Prompt window, type the following and press ENTER:
  
  regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Similarly, run these commands:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll

If the registration was successful, you'll see the message DllRegisterServer in <filename> succeeded for each command executed. Open Windows Sidebar (sidebar.exe) and check if the problem is resolved.

In Internet Explorer there is always some kind of problem. I am using Firefox latest version that is 3.6.3 which is really awesome. The second preference I will give to any browser is Google Chrome. It is fastest browser I had ever seen.

The new feature I liked the most in IE 8is the favourites bar where you can arrange your favourites horizontally below the address bar. That way you get rid of the side favourites menu, gaining more screen real estate in the process.

When the Firefox was declared as the best browser in the world, at that time Microsoft have decided to make the best browser as Internet explorer and they have add lots of new things to the IE and made the IE8. Now everybody is waiting for that to see the newest features.
