We had a Firefox topic, now let's talk about the recent Microsoft web browser: Internet Explorer 8, what do you think about it? I don't see a lot of differences from Internet Explorer 8 so I think is a low update.

I like it. It's still very slow and ugly, but I like it.

It still gets random toolbars covertly installed upon it, I still can't rearrange things to my liking and the fact that it pretty much took everything from Firefox means I still won't use it on a computer if I can help it.

I use IE all the time anyway. So I don't care. I think it works fine.

When I download it for the first time, every time I tried to exit, the program stops responding and never want to exit. But a few days later, it can now exit without a problem. So now I think it's ok. but why does it open 3 tabs? Not that it's a problem or anything

I hate IE8, it takes twice as long to load a page as IE7 and sometimes clicking a link auto-makes it into a new tab, and I have to restart IE to stop it.

That's the kind of mentality that gets your computer bogged down by malicious processes.

A computer isn't an organism, it won't just fix itself with rest and time..

That happened to me a few times... You know you could just end task with the task manager? You didn't have to shut down your computer.

I agree, adding random toolbars whenever it wants is stupid in my opinion. They should fix that up.
