DOM Storage Here is something Useful that has been activated in IE 8.0 yet almost Nobody is aware of (Webmasters and surfers alike)
It is a New "session?" cookie type cache which runs alongside the Prefetch/Superfetch/Tempfile Folders ect.
and unlike the Older session cookies (which are still there) can do a slight bit more....
Read this from the Development prople at Microsoft (The wording is a Bit mathematical)

DOM Storage also offers significantly more disk space than cookies. In Internet Explorer, cookies can store only 4 kilobytes (KB) of data. This byte total can be one name/value pair of 4 KB, or it can be up to 20 name/value pairs that have a total size of 4 KB.
By comparison, DOM Storage provides roughly 10 megabytes (MB) for each storage area.
