RandyL Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 It looks like the final version of IE8 is ready to go and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Internet Explorer Site. You can read more at Zdnet blogs. As for me I think I'll wait just a little longer to see how others like it. Quote We are all members helping other members.

Dalo Harkin Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 So not only does it start from the kickoff - it carries all the way through - and then you will have issues uninstalling it :D So why didnt you follow our earlier advice lol Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
maynardvdm Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 First it tells me to download a update before i can install. I download the update, then it tells me i already have a newer version and the update isn't required. lol i give up :D Quote We are all members helping other members.

BeeCeeBee Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 So then, does this mean there is an issue:confused: If we determine that it is a major fault with the download do we ban Bill Gates from membership in Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help? :) I guess waiting turns out to be the best advice after all.

Match Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 we ban Bill Gates sorry BeeCeeBee but Microsoft boss is now Steve Ballmer. You can ban him :D Quote
BeeCeeBee Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Well that explains a lot, I wondered why Bill wanted to join FPCH. This Steve guy must have locked him out. Quote "Familiarity breeds contempt - and children." Mark Twain

kevh Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Wish id read this post before gettin trigger happy and downloading it :( Was goin to leave the work pc , but never had any probs upgrading MS stuff before so gave in to temptation :rolleyes: Very slow starting up , but not too much slower when started . decided to do a system restore but then messed up old IE (no favs or titles etc) so undid sys restore and am still playin around with IE8 settings to see if i can speed up start up ..

kevh Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Is Firefox generally better than IE any downside to it ??

Match Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Firefox is generally more secure that IE hence IE8, also Firefox has a nice customise feature where it can be easily skinned, with endless plug inn's. Guess the downside is that too many plugins could confict or make it run slow but never heard of that problem. Quote
RandyL Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 From a different post you mentioned toolbar add-ons. As IE8 is new have you tried running it without any toolbar add-ons? A slightly slower startup is not too bad as long as it works. It could be worse. As I said in my first post, I will wait. Thanks for the feedback kevh. Much appreciated.

Diurno Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Just thought I would let you guys know, that so far no errors or problems with IE8. To be honest seems pretty cool! I am a bit biased when it comes to browsers because I'm a Microsoft boy and never really tried any other browsers.
