Default IE 8

I downloaded and installed IE8 yesterday. Didn't experience any of the
problems reported with the beta version.

It's a little early to determine whether Microsoft's claim of faster and
more secure is accurate. It certainly doesn't appear to be faster but
hopefully it is more secure.


That's where FF comes in handy g. H.


Thanks to all who provided feedback.

IE8 has increased security and some of the features already in
Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Opera etc. It's slightly slower than IE7.


I am glad Dan brought this subject up. In Vista I am mostly using FF as
of late and therefore am in no hurry to install IE 8 on top of IE 7 and
where WinME is concerned, it can live nicely with IE 6.
Any suggestions for a better solution are welcome. H.

IE8 works fine - although some users report problems when using
Windows
Mail (NOT Windows Live Mail) in Vista. It does have some significant
improvements over IE7, and has a 'compatibility mode' for those
(relatively few, AFAICT) cases where the changes screw non-compliant
websites.

I know most of the regulars may now be using either XP or Vista so am
curious if anybody has downloaded IE 8, and if so what the feedback
might
be.

Thanks
