Windows Internet Explorer 8 (abbreviated as
IE8) is a web browser developed by Microsoft in the Internet Explorer browser series. The browser was
released on March 19, 2009,
for Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and
Windows 7.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are available. It is the successor to
Internet Explorer 7, released in 2006, and is the default browser for
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. As of January
2011, estimates of IE8's global market share ranged from 26 percent to
33 percent.
Internet Explorer 8 is the first version of IE to pass the Acid2 test,
and the last of the major browsers to do so, although it scores only
20/100 on the Acid3 Test. According to Microsoft, security, ease of use,
and improvements in RSS, Cascading Style Sheets, and Ajax support were
its priorities for IE8.
Internet Explorer 8 is the last version of Internet Explorer to be supported on
Windows XP; the next version, Internet Explorer 9, is supported only on Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
