Internet Explorer 8
Just as he was the first to talk about IE7, Bill Gates kept the tradition alive and discussed IE8 at the Mix

I like the:

IE 8

&

IE Desktop Online Web Browser Live Professional Ultimate Edition for the Internet (the marketing team really pushed for this one

oh wait, 'IE 8' is not on the list

Because it's yummy.

For those of you who don't want to install IE8 on your 'production' machine but would like to have a look at it (or have IE7 installed and want to check websites in other versions) Microsoft have issued a whole bunch of Virtual PC Hard Disk images containing time-limited testing copies of the various IE flavours and an Operating System to run them on. That way you can still use the new stuff without having to, possibly, kill your current set up. All you need is Virtual PC 2007 to use any of the images.
