Confused??

This is similar service like the popular firefox plugin Hyperwords( a little bit) .

• WebSlices:

WebSlices is a new feature for websites to connect to their users by subscribing to content directly within a webpage.

WebSlices behave just like feeds where clients can subscribe to get updates and notify the user of changes.

• Favorites Bar :

In Internet Explorer 7, the Links bar provided users with one-click access to their favorite sites. The Links bar has undergone a complete makeover for Internet Explorer 8. It has been renamed the Favorites bar to enable users to associate this bar as a place to put and easily access all their favorite web content such as links, feeds, WebSlices and even Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

• Automatic Crash Recovery:

Automatic Crash Recovery (ACR) is a feature of Windows IE 8 that can help to prevent the loss of work and productivity in the unlikely event of the browser crashing or hanging. The ACR feature takes advantage of the Loosely-Coupled Internet Explorer feature to provide new crash recovery capabilities, such as tab recovery, which will minimize interruptions to users’ browsing sessions.

• Improved Phishing Filter :

Internet Explorer 7 introduced the Phishing Filter, a feature which helps warn users when they visit a Phishing site. Phishing sites spoof a trusted legitimate site, with the goal of stealing the user’s personal or financial information. For Internet Explorer 8, we are building on the success of the Phishing Filter with a more comprehensive feature called the “Safety Filter.”

If you are blogger make sure your website is opening fine in IE 8.(I ve yet to try it)
