Microsoft unveiled the final pre-release of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) overnight. In this gallery we benchmark the latest release, and show you the new features in the world's most popular web browser.
Earlier this year, presidential campaign computers in the camps of both Barack Obama and John McCain came under cyberattack from unknown hackers, it was reported this week.
