    Microsoft copies its codes from other browsers like firefox..
    Then how could it be better than that... No way..

    I am using IE8, and I feel its much faster and smoother than IE7.. but it has few bugs. I have not yet installed IE8 RC1..... hope RC1 version don't have those bugs.

    The giant slept when it was in a monopolistic position....I am glad that competition has at least stirred it up....

    It remains to be seen how serious its response is....and whether internet users are ready to forgive and forget its past mistakes....only time will tell...

    Right now, I am not even thinking of trying IE 8 though!

    Regards,

    RightMan

    If they could genuinely come up with a decent product, they could easily take away some FF members.

    I will check it for sure, but I'm not sure that MS browser would be better than FF.

    I have restricted my usage of IE to select few activities; I feel more confident with my firefox and that is the way to go in future!

    I will only stop using Firefox, when I find a WAY BETTER Browser, and An Addon Community like Firefox's which is way important to me than speed.
