    I'm using IE 8 right now. It doesn't crash like when I IE 7. I just don't like IE 8 because it's not compatible with the MOVE NETWORKS media player. Which means I can't stream ABC episodes for free.

    IE really doesn't appeal to me in any way compared to other browser alternatives

    Not sure will I try IE8.
    FF has been my defacto browser for many years and now that chrome is out, I already have one option too many

    not going to try it, don't see any new features that outweigh firefox so there would be no point changing. like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Tried IE8...letz say it's slightly better than IE7 but not by much. My suggestion is stick with FireFox!

    first time to hear FF 3.10 is copying IE 8's "inprivate browsing" feature...lol

    if you don't take full advanatage of all the pre-installed features from IE8, and just use the "browsing" part of it, you won't get very far and thus said not much different to IE7
