Redmond-based software giant, Microsoft, has made Internet Explorer 8 (RC1) available for download. The first release client includes a number of new and interesting features over the current version of the browser, namely WebSlices and Accelerator.
WebSlices will give users a way to keep updated about a particular item on a web page like stock prices, the weather or an eBay auction.
Accelerators let users access Web services like maps or translations in a small window without having to leave the page.
