Quick update from Microsoft's Financial Analyst Meeting (FAM): Microsoft Senior Vice President of Online Services and Windows, Bill Veghte, just told attendees that Microsoft will release the final version of Internet Explorer (IE) 8 to the Web "later this year." Microsoft has tried its best not to provide a ship target for IE 8 -- like most of its Windows client family of products. Company officials did acknowledge last month that a second public beta of IE 8 is due out in August. Microsoft has been warning Web developers to prep for IE 8, which will be more standards-compliant, to prepare now for IE 8 by adding a new tag to their sites to keep them from breaking when viewed with IE 8.
