Mathematica 8 Is HERE!!!

The new version of Mathematica has arrived! I have been playing with it for a day now. It is a substantial upgrade from version 7. I will write more about the new features as I play with them. One new feature is the integration with Wolfram Alpha allowing the user to use free-form commands to produce results without the use of syntax; this is limited and for people who know Mathematica, it will not be much of an addition, but it does allow people who do not know the system to begin exploring. The results also include the correct Mathematica syntax for what it thinks you want.

More later.
