Slated to appear in IE8 Beta 2, which Microsoft former chairman Bill Gates promised will release this month, the three new tools share the "InPrivate" name, which Microsoft filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office several weeks ago.

Noob masturbaters rejoice. When I say noob masturbaters I mean people who don't already have the knowledge/sense to clear their cookies, cache and browsing history after their done wiping up. I'm primarily a Firefox user, so this doesn't mean much to me. I'm just waiting for Mozilla's attempt (as it states in the article) to "add similar features". Nonetheless I'm still interested in both of their attempts. Who knows, if Firefox's try at it beats out IE's then maybe more people will switch. -
