Microsoft
is to launch a test version of Internet Explorer 8 by the end of June, according
to an official posting on a
company
blog.
"A beta version of Internet Explorer 8 will be released in the first half of
2008," said a Microsoft developer on the blog.
Improved support for Ajax programming and better security are among the
enhancements to the latest version of the browser, according to Microsoft.
Microsoft is also expected to address interoperability criticisms levelled at
IE7. The new version is likely to comply more fully with
World
Wide Web Consortium standards bringing it in line with
Mozilla's
Firefox.
IE8 is the first major update to the company's browser since the launch of
IE7 in October 2006.
No date has been given for the official launch, but Microsoft is likely to
take IE8 for a public test drive at the MIX conference in March.
