Updating from IE7 to IE8 went smoothly, and IE8 has so far shown itself to be much faster and smoother in operation than IE7 in fact, it's nearly as fast as Opera and K-Meleon on my computer. Yes it may have been my configuration, but I sure as hell didn't receive any good information that would have led to me making an informed decision on that! To go a little further than you did in your less than informative post, I would simply say that the Customer Support experience after installing IE 8 left one hell of a lot to be desired, and customer service was something I required rather a lot of given the endless problems experienced with IE8.
Personally I have uninstalled IE8 and will rely on Firefox, Chrome and IE7 (mostly Chrome). But then I don't claim or infer that I'm an expert, just a user. In my experience IE 8 is a crock of "something less than good" and I actually prefer IE7. Read your own review LakotElf and you will perhaps see that all it does is praise and gives no details, wow, even a dope can do that!! At the end of the day a browser needs to be user friendly not geek friendly and Firefox and Google Chrome both do that (alhough Googles customer support is not the greatest).
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation."Many of these reviews here are of no value at all for all they do is slam and give no details, wow, even a dope can do that."
