Not as yet, I checked updates when writing the article and it didn't show up. Dunno whether they will be including it though?

FYI, development of Chrome started long after IE8. It's actually based on a feature that Safari has had for many years now.

IE8 will be hitting Automatic Updates in mid-April.

Oh, and for anyone who didn't watch the presentation today, check out the video they showed during: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/nethistory/#fbid:WZ1-6_yr2Sf

It's hilarious (there's more videos in the browser beneath the player)

er.. does anyone elses tabs jsut go different colours with no logical reason? Mine are yellow now, they have been green, pink, blue...

The tabs group into different colours in IE8.

Say you navigate to one site, and open a link from that site in a new tab, both those tabs will be coloured the same to show they are related.

That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. But then the website favicons that Firefox uses are more than enough for me tbh.

 

[GavX]

ah, see I only tab from one site, but right you are, neat idea

It isn't only for tabs of the same website though. Say you open a link on Google which leads to Yahoo in a new tab, both those tabs will be coloured the same as they're part of the same "session" or however you want to call it.
