Chris Wilson has disclosed some more information about Internet Explorer 8 on Microsoft blogs (but now it has been removed). The new version will feature improvements in RSS, CSS, and AJAX support, and more options for user interface customization. It is also speculated that IE 8 will include support for microformats (it's included in Firefox 3), small tags embedded in HTML code that can be interpreted in various ways by software, such as calendar events or contact information.

No word on when it'll see the day of light, but Microsoft is hinting that there will be at least another year of development.
