Microsoft has just released the first release candidate of Internet Explorer 8. Although I haven’t had a chance to download it yet, I just received an E-Mail message from someone at Microsoft who says that there have been some changes since the previous beta. Some of these changes include:

• Click Jacking Protection
• A New feature called In Private, which helps to prevent sensitive data from being cached locally
• Performance improvements, which allow the browser or additional browser tabs to be opened more quickly
• Minor  “improvements” to the user interface.

I will post more details in a day or two once I have had a chance to download the release candidate.
