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... - Luke. ID: 722522 ·

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. Manned mission to Mars in 2019 Petition <-- Sign this, please.

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... ID: 722718 ·

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... Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound!

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.

Know what I think? :) 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 thÃƒÂ© 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 thÃƒÂ© 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 ...... ID: 723377 ·
