Last time, I navigated the web for a day using a screen reader. I hope to raise the profile of difficulties faced by real people, which are avoidable if we design and develop in a way that is sympathetic to their needs. This article is part of a series in which I attempt to use the web under various constraints, representing a given demographic of user. Chris Ashton tries it out against the modern web, and considers how we can build our sites to last. We will continue to update the version of Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows 7 as the development cycles of Windows 7 progress and plan to include the final version of Internet Explorer 8 in the release candidate version of Windows 7 later this year.IE8 was released a decade ago today. Windows 7 enables unique features and functionality in Internet Explorer 8 including Windows Touch and Jump Lists which require additional product tests to ensure we are providing the best Windows experience for our customers. "We're sorry, but you won't be able to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 Beta at this timeWindows 7 Beta already includes a pre-release candidate version of Internet Explorer 8 that is optimized for that release. Update: Microsoft releases statement regarding IE8 for Windows 7 users: In addition to the video above, which is not able to be embeded, Microsoft has released a video detailing our exact thoughts on Internet Explorer 8's performance. Watch it here: "The History of the Internet" From bleeding GIFS to pointless status updates. From the days of dial-up to dancing hamsters.
Update: To announce the release of Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft is revisiting the best and worst of the web. You can watch the keynote session live, here. Moments ago Dean Hachamovitch, general manager of Internet Explorer, just announced the availability of the final version at the MIX 09 Day 2 keynote session. Unfortunately there is no version for Windows 7 being released today. No noticeable changes as of yet, as this release focuses on the core features and functionality of Internet Explorer 8. Upon installation I can say that the final version is a lot more stable than the Release Candidate that was released a few months ago.
