IE8 has finally arrived. I just switched from GreenBrowser to IE7 (because of a thing called IE7pro) about half a year ago, and didn't expect IE8 to come so soon.

Looking at the new features and interface screenshots published online, I'm still quite looking forward to it, but it doesn't have as many stunning improvements as the transition from IE6 to IE7 did. While writing this blog post, the installation package had just been downloaded for a short while. I'll install it before shutting down my computer and then slowly experience it after turning on my computer tomorrow.

The worst outcome would be that IE8 can't start properly, IE8 has a full English interface, IE8 opens but cannot access the network, or IE8 causes a system crash when opening websites... It certainly won't upgrade and hang my Windows, so after considering comprehensively, I still decided to install it!
