Are you brave enough to try this Install Internet Explorer 8.

Lots of stories around, that MS admit they got IE7 wrong, and now trying to create browser that works like all the rest, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc. and not break pages.

I personally won't beta test anything for microsift knowing their faliure rate.

I'll bet you don't like leather, whips, bondage etc. either;)

When we finally figure it all out, all the rules will change and we can start all over again.

Still using IE6

Still using IE6

Used to use IE6 about 3 months ago, then had problems with it failing after about 10 minutes... came up with the "xxxxx has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for any inconvenience"

So I now use Firefox... Firefox is just so much more cleaner then IE...

Hi!

Thanks for the link! I just installed Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP Professional x64. It has both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. They have crashed a few times already and this Message box (for writing this message) does not work as it should: using keyboard's Up and Down arrow behave strangely.

Well, at least, the Acid2 test works well. It is also possible to Emulate IE7, but you have to restart IE 8, before it works.

Heheheh... IE?

Where have i heard about this legendary explorer of the fabled lost ruin of the Internets in Cyberspace....

Hmmm... I was only aware of the fiery fox and his descendants who lived in the ruin, and generation after generation they seek to thwart this explorer from completing his mission...

There is no doubt they got it wrong...Microsoft makes everyone a beta tester, if they want to be or not. If any other company in the World put out as much buggy stuff they have, they would have been sued out of existance a long time ago...

I have been having wonderful results with Seamonkey...
It's the continuation of Netscape 7.2, before they stripped out the email client in Netscape 8....

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Well I downloaded IE8 early this morning. So far it's working great. There are few new features that so far I like. I'll give it a go and see if it keeps working.

Well that didn't last long. IE8 crashed about 5 mins after I wrote the above. Back to IE7.

I'm with you on that, although I find my self using IE more than Fire fox, I do like Mozilla more, I am not sure why I always end up using IE more.

Maybe one off the reasons, why using I.E.[5.xx, 6.xx, 7.xx]is, that it by default act's as thé BROWSER, f.i. if u open a link from a forum, mailbox or whatever.
You have to 'instruct' your browser, f.i. FIREFOX,(which i prefer), to be thé
FIRST/ONLY BROWSER, on your host('s).

In VISTA, I.E 7 just is worthless, cause off the too many ERROR's,
BLUE-SCREEN's, beyond 'function call XXXXX' or whatever reason, the thing SHUT's
DOWN , always fight with this ......

I don't have a problem using FireFox as my default browser in Vista. Have had it set that way since I started using Vista over a year ago and I've never received any errors or BSODs.

I think he meant IE 7 was causing the Vista problems, not Firefox.

LOL You're right. I read that wrong. :-)

Acid test? I can only imagine you throwing acid at IE and laughing at it when it doesn't work. That's my kind of test!
