IE Can go and get beeeeeeeeped heheh i am sick of idiots using it.. i have to spent an extra couple pf hours or so on every site i make to make sure you poor ignorant IE users can see my pages... give it 6 months ms will fail again, firefox will keep growing and then we wont have to care for ie users again.

IE users down to 20% yet ?? that will make my day when i hear that. i hate ie users that much i just wrote a post about them haha

EDIT: Microsoft should copyright the word "BETA" because none of their software evey comes out of a BETA state

Wow... What in hell makes an IE user ignorant?

Much less security? Being always 3 years behind Firefox or Opera users?

I really can't expect this new version to be any better than before really, but I'll check out the review.

IE gets such a bad wrap, it's nowhere near as good as Firefox but people talk as if it's terrible and if Firefox were to cease to exist, they'd be gonners. IE isn't that bad!

Firefox was made by God himself. It was proven on Wikipedia.

A lot of ppl are still using ie6. Developers have to check if their product works in both ie6 and ie7. Another version means a lot more work for us. Ie is just pain in the back... switch to FF today!

[Snoppy]

LOL - just wait until IE9 is out .....then there will be even more work *sigh*

IE has always been and remains the only real browser. Wannabe imitations like Ff are for fanboys who don't know any better and deserve to be the users of crappy browsers.

damn true! and they talk about security like they are security experts. yeah...right! have you at least saw what security features IE8 has?

[crestind]

I don't know what you are talking about... IE7 is terrible. It freezes and crashes all the time.

IE8 looks like a comeback to me.

[mdvaldosta]

IE8 looks quite promising.
