“Internet Explorer 8 (also known as IE 8) is the latest but not
quite the greatest web browser from Microsoft. It offers several
enhancements over its predecessor that includes improvements in
RSS, Cascading Style Sheets, and Ajax support. It also has several
added features like automatic tab crash recovery, suggested sites,
web slices, and accelerators (a form of selection-based
search).

“If you are using Linux and if for some reason you need to
install and use Internet Explorer 8, don’t worry because it is
really quite easy to do so. Using Wine, I’ve shared with you how I
installed and run Safari 4 on Linux. To install IE 8 on Linux, you
will also need Wine.”
