    Has anyone tried this yet?
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/beta/default.aspx
    What do you think of it?

    I have already tried it and it isn't that good really.
    If you get some sort of send error report thingy, then next time you open IE you get a choice to restore last session. Then if you say yes to that, you get another Send error. Its like looping.

    But this is only good if you are browsing the website and you accidentally close it, then when you open IE browser you can reload the same page again.

    I think ill stick with Firefox and Opera

    well, i can see a lot of people here really dislike internet explorer. Well I have to agree too, so many security exploits with IE and so many problems. Firefox on the other hand does not give me many errors compared to IE

    Wasn't there some major security flaw discovered in IE8 that Microsoft failed to fix even with their patches?

    I'm using IE7 only a slightly older Pentium4 notebook, and it really is sluggish compared to IE6. Wonder if IE8 will be worse? Opera and FF are light years faster on the same machine.

    ie8 still has a lot of issues with itself. the beta stage is still really not compatibly stable. i think firefox is still the best and fast running browser out right now. keep in mind, it uses least system memory resources than ie

    IE what? ....I haven't used IE for one year now ...Firefox is my browser of choice!
     
  19. IE 8 isn't a good browser...... glitches periodically.... pages load rather slow, seems to have a lag sometimes.. firefox is still my top option
