Why should web developers be happy?  Internet Explorer 8 is the most standards-compliant version of IE yet.  That means less time writing “special” code for IE and more time adding polish.  End users should like some new features such as accelerators, improved speed, an improved favorites bar, and especially new search features.

My favorite feature is search suggestions from within the search box.  This is especially great for when I don’t know exactly what to Google for.
