Looks like the big "M" silently released IE 8 beta. Lots of sites are talking about it, so I won't go into great any detail here.

Activities are contextual services that provide quick access to external services from any webpage. Activities typically involve one of two types of actions:
* "Look up" information related to data in the current webpage
* "Send" content from the current webpage to another application
Web sites can expose portions of their page as a WebSlice that users can subscribe to and bring that content with them on their links bar wherever they are on the web. Users receive update notifications when the content changes.
I haven't tried it yet, but later on I'll be firing up a Virtual Machine and taking it for a whirl. I sincerely doubt I'll be reverting back from Firefox. You can read more about it and download here.
