In 82 days will have the first answer for the future Internet Explorer 8.0. The question is: will have anymore success? Thinking at how much has lost against Firefox, I can easily say: no. Had took so much time for some tabs which Firefox had have for a long time and for other few features, so I don't think will have something sensational into a short time. A major advantage that Internet Explorer it has is that many beginners in computers, since Windows installation they don't know that there are other browsers than that from Microsoft package. Already exist on internet many versions of Internet Explorer 8, but nobody knows which is the real one, because has been modified and many of those versions have been putted to download for installing many malwares. The reality is that now Internet Explorer 8 is on pre-alpha state, so is as much as possible instable and will need very much work on it. There are speculations that the final version will appear in 2 years. Among its best capabilities we can specify: - possibility of blocking users into a website for protecting them to jump to another one accidentally. - rendering update; - update for JavaScript; - improving for working with PNG transparent images; - possibility of moving the tabs from one window to other; - support for themes; With all of those there's nothing about its slow and unlikely add ons which Internet Explorer still has. Anyway let's don't forget that soon will appear Firefox 3.0 with new advantages. Even if won't appear, Internet Explorer it won't be at Firefox level.
