All 25 language versions of Internet Explorer 8

Microsoft is currently gearing up for the availability of the gold build of Internet Explorer 8. The Redmond giant has not confirmed a deadline, except to say that it expects to deliver the final IE8 two years after the general availability of Internet Explorer 7 considered by the company to be January 30, 2007, the Windows Vista launch day. However, all indications point to a November release of IE8 final, including the fact that Microsoft is only offering support for the Beta 2 build of Internet Explorer 8 until the end of October.

“When installing localized versions of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 on XP or Windows Server 2003 please remember that the base language of the operating system must match the IE8 language you are trying to install; otherwise the Setup Wizard will display an error. For Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the base language of Windows does not need to match the Internet Explorer 8 language version in order for a successful install. When your user active language matches the Internet Explorer 8 language you installed, then IE8 will appear in the desired language. You will still be able to use IE8 in all other scenarios, but it will appear in English as a fall back version,” Kannan added.

All 25 language versions of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) Beta 2 are available for download:

Chrome Losing its Shine?

Google Chrome received an astonishingly good press, so it was inevitable that sooner or later something would upset the applecart. It has, and it comes courtesy of the German Office for Information Security, which has reportedly expressed concerns over the browser’s security features, and is warning against using it, at least until a final post-beta version has been released. Digging a little deeper reveals that the spokesperson’s comments have been widely hyped and misquoted, and Google staunchly defends Chrome’s safety. Nevertheless, there remains some questions marks over how much data it extracts from your surfing activities, and what, exactly it sends back to the mothership. It is also true that it assigns a unique ID to each installation, which seems a bit odd unless Google is going to track what you are up to. For those that like Chrome, and are concerned about privacy, have a look at UnChrome. It’s a freeware utility that zeros out the ID feature in Chrome, making it complete anonymous; what’s more, it doesn’t affect the way Chrome works and you only have to run it once.
