Download IE8 and feed the hungry

Microsoft has put aside $1 million to feed the hungry this summer. All you have to do is download IE8 from www.browserforthebetter.com.

Microsoft today is launching a campaign titled "Browser for the Better" (Silverlight required) that includes Internet Explorer 8, Feeding America, along with stunts and viral videos.

I just downloaded it.  Can anyone tell me where i can find the IE version that I have now in Vista.  For some reason, I can't find a help file in IE.  I have already installed it on my XP machine.

Hi Roro,
In IE8 click on Tools and then select the Menu Bar once that's done, you'll be able to access Help and then About

Got this in an email today:

"Hi, all you animal  lovers!

This is pretty  simple... Please tell ten friends to each tell a further ten today!

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting  enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of  getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.  It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site  and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This  doesn't cost you a thing.

Their corporate  sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food  to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for  advertising.

Here's the web site! Please pass it along to  people you know.   
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/ "

I've checked it out at Snopes and it's on the level so please,
do the right thing.  Thanks :)

Tap F1.

Do you have the Menu bar visible?
View then Toolbars then Menu bar then Help.

F1 is generally Help in all applications.

Even though i already have IE8 installed, i've downloaded it again and spread the word on my blog/webpage.
It's a small part where we can help for a better tommorow. And it doesn't really cost us anything, while others can gain so much.

Thanks Bob and YoKenny,
Both responses were very helpful.  I didn't have the menu bar showing, and using F1 is great.
Bob, I just went to the animal rescue site.  I will visit that everyday and click.  In fact it has become the page that Firefox opens first.
