    Turned off my new computer a couple of nights ago and as normal, Vista Business, some updates were installed. When I switched it back on, IE8 had been installed.

    IE8 IS FULL OF BUGS!!!!

    Videos from Youtube, Hulu TV etc WILL NOT LOAD UP!

    I have found it so much slower than IE7

    Now I find a big white space in any Google search above the search results.

    Why do Microsoft always rush out their upgrades without even testing them fully? I am not the only one with this problem, loads of other people HATE IE8!

    I hope someone from Microsoft reads this because I am very pissed off with them!

    Yeah, IE8 is more stable than IE7 ever was, maybe it's a hardware specific problem or something.

    Hahaha yeah.

    From my tracking, I am actually surprised as to how many people still use IE6. It's kind of annoying how everything looks great on every operating system and every browser..............................except for IE

    Even though the problem appears machine specific, I would still be wary of using any version of IE, certainly not as long as FF does the job, pretty well! :)

    i can't believe microsoft still produces new versions of IE. just chalk it up as a loss and strike a deal with mozilla, that way they can still make a little off of their rise to the top by including it on new pc's

    is not a total loss, IE still has 54% market share. why would they stop? it doesn't make sense.

    more suprsingly, while bing lost 11.4% market share in past months, bing actually got more users.

    auto install sucks.... I totally love FF. Crome still needs some marketing. I'm not into it yet.
