KermodeBear writes in to note that according to Smashing Magazine, the newest version of Internet Explorer, codenamed “Eagle Eyes,” supports Firefox plugins, the Gecko and Webkit rendering engines, and has scored a 71 / 100 on the Acid3 test. The article is pretty gee-whiz, and I don’t entirely believe the claims that IE’s JavaScript performance will trounce the others. (And note that the current Firefox, 3.0.8, scores 71 on Acid3, and Safari 3.1.2 hits 75.) No definitive date from Microsoft, but “sources” say that an IE 8.1 beta will be released in the summer.Read more of this story at Slashdot.

I’m not a fan of April Fools Day. Trying to separate fact from fiction gets harder each year — as a new fake blog post on an alleged “IE 8.1″ release makes clear.
Upon a quick first read, the rumored leak of an IE 8.1 almost sounded possible. Sure, the supposed IE 8.1 “Eagle Eyes” codename seamed a little wonky, but supposed features like better ACID-test compliance and faster JavaScript performance seemed somewhat believable.

Microsoft recently released Internet Explorer 8, and while I find that it is a great piece of software, it had a few shortcomings which left Google Chrome untouched with respects to my default browser selection. There is absolutely no doubt that IE8 is better than IE7, its predecessor. It is faster, more robust and certainly more stable. There are also some great new features; I am quite fond of IE8's Web Slices.
