IE8 Web Slices – not so much
The issue is, both them have to be enabled and optimized on the site you’re browsing. This means that until IE 8 becomes much more mainstream, it’s not gonna happen. So is this a deal breaker? Not a chance. IE 8 is still a big step up from IE 7. The anti-malware portion alone makes it a clear upgrade. I think that for now, the accelerators and Web Clips are nice, but not the big deal that Microsoft would like them to be.
