Internet Explorer 8 is already available for download on peer-to-peer networks worldwide

In this context, the upcoming version of Internet Explorer could not have been overlooked. Internet Explorer 8.0 by Microsoft.exe, Internet Explorer 8.0 Multilanguage.exe, Internet Explorer 8.0 BETA Installer MULTILENGUAJE and Internet Explorer 8.0 NeW Full are the IE 8 versions available for download.

The only problem is that Internet Explorer 8 is currently in pre-alpha version, and is only tested inhouse at Microsoft. Therefore, the examples of IE posted on P2P sites are not what they claim to be, and chances are they are crawling with malware.

Why do people bother putting up fake torrents, what do they get out of filling computers with a load of viruses. Spyware has a point to rob you of what it can, but viruses....why?

Apparently they (hackers) (the Sith) see it as an art form.

The goal is to hurt others, regardless of "profit" received. Artists, other than the socio-paths and the conduct disorderly, do not seek to hurt others for the sakes of their art forms.

From Wikipedia:

"Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is a mental disorder defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual: "The essential feature for the diagnosis is a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood."[1] Considered essential features of the disorder are deceit and manipulation. Therefore it is essential in making the diagnosis to collect material from sources other than the individual being diagnosed. Also, the individual must be age 18 or older as well as have a documented history of a conduct disorder before the age of 15."
