And today, Microsoft let loose the full edition of the software's latest incarnation - Internet Explorer 8 - after a year of having a beta test version out in the wild. Microsoft's new browser comes at the end of a month where its competitors also revealed a slew of updated test versions: chiefly Apple's Safari 4 public beta and Google Chrome 2.0 beta. IE8 will be free to download for genuine Windows-running users available, and it'll play nicely with both Vista and XP.
