Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Includes Virtual Earth

Yesterday we (Microsoft) launched the second beta for Internet Explorer - you can download the new web browser from the Windows IE8 web site. As you're browsing the web, you select the text on any page, right click (or just hover) and get a map using the "Map with Live Maps" link which will bring up a small window (formerly called Activities, now dubbed Accelerators) highlighting the map. From there you can get a bird's eye image or driving directions.

Try it out. You can always go back if you don't like the beta.

Re: Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Includes Virtual Earth

Will IE8 have a spell checker? English is not my mother tongue so each time, before I hit the Post-button, I'd like to make sure you guys will not laugh at me.

An old FireFox can do it, so should the upcoming newest IE8!
