Microsoft said in a statement that it will be releasing the first beta of its next-generation browser Internet Explorer 8 as well as a beta of the second version of the Flash competitor Silverlight for download today.Microsoft has decided that Internet Explorer 8 will be being compliant with web standards, and will not, as previously announced, require web pages to explicitly opt in to conforming behavior.New features of IE8 are “activity list” and “web slices”. Activities will allow users to mark certain portions of the content on a website and dynamically retrieve related information from Live.com, including maps, contact data and prices of products. “Slices” enable users to mark certain portions of a website, bookmark them and make them dynamically available through a preview button in the browser bar.

Stumble it!
