Just got IE8, not too happy

I actually downloaded and gave IE 8 beta a try. It was fine until I found a bug where when right clicking on text/image links, it crashes my IE everytime. As well as the Forum Jump no longer work unless I use one of the new features called Compatibility View and view as IE7 again.

Disappointing but then again its microsoft what can i expect.
I've also written a small review about it if anyone's interested
IE8 Beta Review

Anyone else tried IE8?

 

I'm not even going to bother with IE. I have the IE plugin for firefox if I ever *do* need IE, which is very rare.

 

Same here, I use that plugin for STUPID websites that only work with IE.

@OP : I guess you weren't too happy, mm, As Usual !?

 

I only use it to check my designs to make sure they look okay in IE.

 

Not yet but FF3 will make me change to FF forever.

 

well i guess i'm slightly unhappy, i can still use it, just that i can't right click on any links now lol
guess what's what happens when you try out new things, there's always a risk, specially with microfarts products, at least i got a topic to write in my blog

 

Microsoft's shitty, buggy software for the win!

 

I use IE for the same above, other than that, its sitting there occupying my HDD and doing nothing

 

I'm happy with IE6. IE8 have many bugs.

 

i will never use IE again, firefox powns the net and way more secure, why bother with ie if we have fox?

 

Don't go with IE, Firefox is way better.

 

If you run McAfee do not upgrade to IE8 Beta 2, it turns the McAfee interface blank leaving you unable to access any of your security or firewall settings or run scans.

I got hit with this conflict last night, and when searching for a solution many other people encountered the same problems and couldn't correct it either. The only way is to uninstall IE8.

 

WELL IE8 is really not nice, me to not at all happy with it.

 

Will IE8 use the google toolbar?

 

I'm sure IE8 will still be able to use the Google toolbar. Overall, IE8 makes some great improvements (many stolen from Firefox) but I'm pretty loyal to Firefox at this point. It would take a bulldozer to move me back to Internet Explorer.

 

IE8? I would not bother to even try it. Mess up my whole computer when I downloaded IE7.

 

With the sh*ty IE7 did you realy expect it to get better Ie sucks big time.

 

People continue to use it and when you run over 100 websites it's a huge chunk of traffic that's lost if you don't ensure everything works with this "product" that's why i have to bother with it.

Believe me, i've spent 1,000s of hours bashing my head against the wall dealing with IE quirks and it would make my day for it to either go away or render pages correctly.

 

I am using firefox more. not much on used IE

 

Ok I use FF all the time now but I did DL IE:8...

and to my surprise it loads FASTER then FF..

it does not seem to require as much resources as FF also.. but I have'nt fully used it and run it through the paces as I'm hooked on FF.. but my first impression is IE:8 is fast.

I guess in the next 24 hrs we will have another browser.. Googles own little beast called Chrome..
