根据微软IE8官方网站的介绍资料，我们现在了解到了一些IE8的新功能特性，其中包括：
Activities（活动内容服务）
WebSlices（网站订阅）
Favorites Bar （收藏夹栏）
Automatic Crash Recovery （自动崩溃恢复）
Improved Phishing Filter （改进型反钓鱼过滤器）
Activities（活动内容服务）
活动内容服务，意味着用户可以从网页服务中快速存取服务，用户通常对网页的内容进行复制粘贴，这里的情况是把网页中内容发送到一个web应用程序中，例如，用户在页面看到一个餐厅地址，那么他就可以把看到的地址发送到地图服务中去。而其他情况，例如用户看到一篇有趣的文章，他也可以利用这项功能把部分文字发送到博客中去。关于活动服务的内容，用户可以安装或管理。
WebSlices（网站订阅）
WebSlices是一个新的功能，当用户接入网络之后可以不打开网站查看订阅内容，WebSlices似乎与Feeds之类比较相似，微软的演示为订阅天气预报。
Favorites Bar（收藏夹栏）
之前IE7的收藏夹已经被扩展为一个完整的收藏夹栏，此栏目除了可以添加喜好的网站，
还可以加入包括word、excel、powerpoint文件的地址。
Automatic Crash Recovery （自动故障恢复）
IE系列浏览器的用户实际上经常能遇到IE浏览器崩溃的情况。再次打开IE之后，刚刚浏览的网页没有保存，你甚至不知道去那里找回它们。ACR自动故障恢复功能是IE 8浏览器的一个重要改进。当IE浏览器崩溃，ACR会自动保存用户浏览的页面，并恢复它们。
Improved Phishing Filter （改进型反钓鱼过滤器）
IE7中提供的网络反钓鱼过滤器在新的IE 8中得到了发扬，当用户遇到可能的仿冒网站，此过滤器会弹出并警告用户可能的威胁。并且新加入了“安全过滤”功能，这种安全过滤器除了继续阻止已知的钓鱼网站，还可以检查已知的恶意软件，以减少用户个人信息失窃等问题。
