Well, it’s now out in final release. If you are an Internet Explorer kind of user I would highly recommend downloading it as it is MUCH faster then IE7. The tabbing is improved and the speed increase is noticeable. Going between “Compatibility View” and Standards mode (default) is quite simple (and sometimes necessary to view a page properly). I still prefer Mozilla Firefox for it’s plug-ins (or Add-ons); however, I can honestly say this is a nice step forward for Internet Explorer. I guess with the competition heating up with different browsers MS finally woke up. You’ll have to manually download and install it at this time, the link is below.
