Microsoft IE 8 is highly sought after for more than 12 million downloads within 8 hours

Microsoft's latest version of Internet Explorer 8 was officially launched in March 20. This is the most important Internet Explorer upgrade since the advent of Internet Explorer 7 for more than two years. It provides users with 25 languages including simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

You can download it from the Microsoft website for free. Within the eight hours of providing downloads, IE8 has already exceeded 12 million downloads, surpassing the record of last June downloads within 24 hours after its competitor Firefox's new browser was released in 8 million.

The most prominent feature of IE8 is that it is not only a browser, but also new features that blur the boundaries between Internet services and browsers. Some of the features make it difficult for competitors. For example, the "tab browsing" function of IE8 allows Internet users to view multiple pages in one window. To facilitate users to track the links opened on the same page, IE8 uses different colors to differentiate the labels of each page and all the link pages opened by it.
