Microsoft has recently released Release Candidate 1 for download! Neowin.net outlines the new features:
- Faster: Internet Explorer 8 is more responsive with new pages and tabs, opening up fast and reliably. You can now get to the information you care about most, in fewer steps; one click access to your webmail, favorite news sites or other online services.
- Easier: Reduce the steps to accomplish many common tasks, and automate your access to real time information updates. You can keep track of your favorite sports team, news, weather with a single click.
- More Private: Helps protect your privacy and confidential information where ever you go on the web.
- More Secure: Helps protect and stop malicious software from reaching your PC, and makes it easier to detect when a website is an imposter.

After my RC1 installation, it required a reboot. At first impression, browsing websites really do seem a bit snappier than IE8 Beta.
More importantly though… as a Microsoft CRM Consultant, I’m wondering if the previous IE Beta issue with workflows has been addressed. I haven’t yet had time to test its compatibility with CRM, so be sure to post your findings in the comment section!
