Here's the deal with me:
I have downloaded it and to tell you the truth, it is not worth it! I try to type long things on the internet(On forums and stuff, and it goes up to the top again! I have been posting my long posts in word now. Don't download it puddin! It's no better than the earlier version!
Whenever I open a new tab, It either doesn't load, or it takes forever! After I open more than two it doesn't work at all!
I honestly think it is slower!

I've tried firefox and other browsers but am a creature of habit  and refuse to leave IE. I'm looking forward to more comments but for now I'll stick with IE7 .............thats until they force us to go to 8 I guess. I'm really looking forward to Windows Media 12 ..when ever that happens I have no idea! |

Gosh, I use Firefox all the time and only use IE (6!) rarely. I love it. I looked at Google's Chrome, hated it. You can import all your IE Favorites and contacts if you want.

Firefox uses up a lot of memory, but I'll take it over IE in spades.

It does take memory, but it does so many more things that I love.  Tabs, a little addon called ForecastFox from Accuweather which sits nicely on the bottom of the browser with custom settings like radar, severe weather notices to name a few. Ad blocker and a pop-up blocker which I love because I despise pop-ups. (I think IE has a pop-up blocker but I rarely use it so I'm not sure.) Firefox has spell checker too, it highlights misspelled words after you type them, for example as I type this reply and all I have to do is right click on the word to get the correct spelling. Love it! |

I don't think I'll try out IE8, I've heard too many reports of bugs and slow loading time. I was planning on trying IE again, since I've been mainly using Firefox, but I'd need to hear some more positive reviews first.

Well I went for the IE8, it took a whole 15 minutes with the reboot and all .. so far so good! Maybe a tad faster than normal?

IE8 is not for me, yet anyway! They need to get some of the bugs worked out imo. I went back to IE7 because the 8 had some odd scrolling thing going on and when I went to quote someone, or copy and paste something, then try to type in my reply the page would scroll back to the top and it was hard to read what I was replying to let alone trying to type. I admit I'm not the greatest at spelling so not being able to see what I was typing without previewing it first was frustrating.

That's what it is like for me! I can't see what I am typing. And I modify my posts about 4 times before I feel comfortable with them!  |

I had luck removing it ,, I just went to control panel home>>uninstall program>>view installed updates>> right click uninstall IE8, reboot and done. Now i have to turn off auto-updates so that its not installed again  |

Now i have to turn off auto-updates so that its not installed again Saw some weird things with "scrolling" while trying to post on this board using a PC with Vista/IE8. Reported it to Rob who says it may be due to IE8 incompatibility with the forum s/w. Firefox doesn't seem to have any issues, so maybe you can still have IE8 and use FF to post on this forum till Rob gets a forum update. UPDATE: OK, just tried something which seems to fix the "scrolling" issue when using IE8 to post on this forum.... You have to click the "COMPATABILITY VIEW" button at the top of IE8 (by the address bar). This will force IE8 to work with older style web sites. When I turned it on I was able to enter text in a post without any unintended scrolling. I see this as a temporary fix, until Rob gets a forum update. You can set IE8 to automatically use COMPATABILITY VIEW (for RFF Forum) by clicking the menu "Tools" -> "Compatability View Settings". |

I don't like FireFox Boingo, I'm sort of set in my ole ways but thanks for the tips This Compatability View fix may work for those issues as well (according to their notes). Sounds like you're suffering from tecno inertia. At least you're not stuck in the stone ages with IE6 (like Peach). No one says you can't have more than one browser installed.... in fact having at least two gives you an alternative when one gets hit by a trojan/virus attack. I have three on my PC. Come on ....come over to the dark side... live dangerously...try IE8 again.... you may like it NOW! |
