A friend of mine is testing it as we speak, one of the many features in the new Internet Explorer 8 is the ability to surf in “Private Mode” and by this, no website is apparently allowed to identify you as an individual.
Using this feature… he was able to bypass Forum bans hahahaha…
But, otherwise, There have been many new features incorporated into IE 8 and I think it will be worth it whenever the full version comes out (last time I checked - 5 days ago) it was still beta?
Nonetheless, there are lots of new Security features and Scripting updates, but Eye Candy also. 
One more thing though, it still isn’t better than firefox in terms of Speed and Security.
Bypass Forum bans huh…nice 
I have a friend that got banned from then Canucks Forum. lol…I’ll let him know.
