Internet Explorer 8 - Session Shared among Explorer Window

IE 8 sharing session among different Explorer Window for same domain.
Like if you are a logined at hotmail.com in IE 8, and you have open another explorer window for hotmail.com, you will automatically logined.
This was not in IE 7, In IE 7 session has shared in the same explorer tab rather different Explorer Window.

Can anyone have a idea about this, Whether it is bug or something else in IE 8

Use

File -> New Session

Well, it is not a bug. Browsers usually share data via cookies. IE8 have this 'new session' feature to let you use multiple email accounts (and similar services) with multiple browsers.

Modify IE8 Shortcut to Permanently Launch New IE Browser Window in New Session

Right click on the IE8 shortcut (all IE8 shortcuts or icons on desktop, Start Menu, Quick Launch bar or Taskbar that you want it to run as a new instance session have to be changed), and choose Properties from the right click context menu. Then, append -nomerge to the end of the of the program path in “Target” text box at “Shortcut” tab. For example,

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” -nomerge

Create a new shortcut to ieplore.exe, add the -nomerge switch. This will always start a new session.

I prefer using "Run" and just type "iexplore.exe -nomerge"
