IE8 update

[LaRue Medlin]

Anyone made the move to IE8 yet. IE7 keeps crashing on me and I wonder if it will help. Thoughts??

I've been using Mozilla's Firefox for a few months now and love it. I was having lots of issues with IE7 as well, but since the switchover, I think I've only had 1 crash. The nice thing, is that if your browser closes unexpectedly, when you restart it will offer to reload all the pages you had open when it shut down.

Firefox is cool but I'm old school, sorry

On my MacBook Pro, I'm using FF3 on the Mac side and FF3 and IE8 on the PC side. I can honestly say I really, really dig IE8. It has been stable, quick, and the GUI is functional minimalist.

Did you un install 7 and re install ???



Have you kept up with the updates for IE and windows ???



It could be a windows issue and not IE

Im going to wait awhile to move to IE8. I have been reading with PC World and a few other tech sites. Many websites havent updated their code for IE8 yet. So you wont get see their site. Or you will see scrambled versioons of them.



Also it just came out of beta. That gives me caution from past experiance. IE7 is working good for me. I have enough security not to worry.

If you are running a latter version of XP. IE7 may be built into the OS. It is a different proccess to delete 7, in that case. If 7 is in your add remove programs. You might delete it. Then go to microsoft IE site and download the full version of 7 or 8.

If that dont help, your system files are corupt. Since XP came out, IE is not completely independent of the OS.

just downloaded IE8. Then did a complete install. No crash yet... Could not say that too often with IE7 the last couple of weeks.. we'll see:unsure:

I was also getting the creashing on IE7 and loaded IE8.

I stil get them but it does not exit all the windows/tabs on IE8 so while it does still hapen its better than IE7 was for me anyway

I braved it today on 2 machines, I like it so far, they appear to have done a nice job.

Sorry, I'm another Firefox convert, I haven't used IE for a couple years now.

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

Also a Firefox user, haven't used IE consistently for 5 yrs or so....

I have IE on my computers, but hardly ever use it. There are some Microsoft sites that won't work with Firefox or Google Chrome, and that is the only reason it is on anything I own.

I have been using Google Chrome and like it. I also use FireFox on occasion. I just got the update for IE8. I should install it and see what happens.

I've been using IE8 for several months (beta until a few weeks ago) and have had no problems. Seems to be a pretty good upgrade.

Using Mozilla FireFox with Ubuntu 9.04 (Linux). Free Source is the way to go.
