The search features of IE8 have really changed the way I work. One of the coolest new features is Visual Search, which is kind of like search suggestions, but more awesome.

Check out this quick screen capture to see Visual Search in action. A bunch of sites already support Visual Search, including New York Times, Wikipedia, Amazon, Me.dium, Taobao, and more.

Activities and WebSlices are two of the most exciting new features in IE8. Watch Jane Kim explain how these features bring the power of mashups to the browser, and how you can tie your web site or service into IE8's chrome using only web standards and no custom C++ code.

Download the developer beta today, and get started building Activities and WebSlices! You can find technical details on developing Web Slices and Activities at the MSDN developer center.

For a broad overview of many of the new features in IE8, check out the demo of IE8 and interview with Matt Lapsen over on Channel 10. And Chris Wilson drills into the architecture of IE8 over Channel 9.

News just in! Dean Hachamovitch, the guy who runs the Internet Explorer team, will be one of our keynoters at MIX. As he promised on the IE Blog, Dean is going to share more about Internet Explorer 8 including a sneak peek at some of the features his team have been hard at work on. Dean’s keynote at MIX06 was one of the highlights of the inaugural MIX conference. Since then, IE shipped a new version with a new UI and dramatically improved standards support, and the browser industry has heated up with an emphasis on web standards and new entries in the browser market. You won’t want to miss this keynote to see how the next version of Internet Explorer is shaping up and learn how Internet Explorer 8 fits into today’s browser marketplace.
