Internet Explorer 8

phenom · 07-12-2008, 05:04 AM

Now in Beta testing. If anyone is interested in playing around with it and helping to shape the final product, feel free to go check it out. There sounds like some interesting things being done, who knows how it will work out.

Thanks for the link Phenom. I will go check that out. Have you downloaded it yet and if so what do you think about it?

Upon looking at it further it says its for web developers and designers. Does that mean that W8 will be exclusively for them or just the beta version so they can make sure pages are compatible?

Every single time I have ever upgraded my Internet Explorer, I end up with major issues and have to uninstall it and revert back to an older version. This time I am waiting until it's out for a while and de-bugged.

I am still thinking I want to wait around a little bit before downloading this one after the bugs are out. I might put it on my older computer first and the once I know its good to go the newer one. Is there anything special about this upgrade?

I checked out the link too but has decided to wait a while before I download, I am far from being a webmaster or a designer so I will let the professionals work at it first.

I actually haven't had the time to download and play with this yet either. Summer is so busy for me I almost missed it except for the e-mail they sent out. It looks interesting and I'm hoping they have upped the "oompf" to match the latest Firefox release.

I'll have to look into it over the next few weeks. I have too much going on to do it now but unless they made some serious changes and improvements I'll be sticking with FireFox.

I think I may hold off on this. I would be interested in comments from anyone who has downloaded it and is testing it. I'll stick with my FireFox for now as it does everything I need it to do.

I tried to download it last night about 3 times and it locked up. I don't know if it were my connection or what. Has anyone else seen this problem? I hope this isn't an omen!
