So, apparently Internet Explorer 8 is available for download, according to my twitter colleagues and a certain Mister Gates.

But don’t search for ‘ie8′ with Google, because you’ll get this:

ie8-search

 

One half of the screen is a search for news about ie8. The next suggests that I was probably searching for IE7. None of the remaining four links, as I scroll down, are any use.

I buy into the idea of integrated search, that results from news, maps etc. be incorporated into your search. But, in this case, half the screen is devoted to trying to persuade me to search for a different product entirely.  Pah! – Page and Brin, your time is up. (Not that I tried any other search engine for this result – we all know they’re rubbish,eh?)

(Here are the links you really need.)
