    Tried the beta at work. Is it out properly now?
    Anyway, much like IE7 except for the <strike>porno mode</strike> in-private browsing feature. In this mode no files, such as images are left in cache/temp files and your history is not recorded.
    </p>

    It allows regular and in-private sessions to run concurrently in separate browser windows. So it is a better implementation of the feature than that seen in the latest firefox beta, where this mode is either on or off and affects all open instances of the browser once the setting is changed.</p>

    The address bar works a bit more like firefox 3's smart search too.</p>

    Quite a decent browser to be honest and puts IE right back in the frame for Windows users.
    </p>

    So they nicked the porn mode browsing from google chrome then.

    might upgrade once its been out a while - we are supposed to use IE at work but I switched to firefox as IE7 had quite a few issues.

    *who in turn nicked it from Apple's Safari, which first sported this feature in early 2005.

    the only version of safari I have used is on my phone and I dont think that has the privacy mode - though I havent looked either
