Well, I've got it already, am a Firefox or Safari user normally but I must say I like IE 8.
Not found any problems yet, although the built in Web Developer toolbar is horrific, but if you dont need it then it doesn't matter0 -
There are other faster, more secure, and more frequently updated browsers out there than Internet Explorer, such as Firefox. It won't cost you anything to try them out, and you might very well find one you prefer.0

Why don't you try firefox, it really is better, faster and safer............Blackpool_Saver is female, and does not live in Blackpool0

And mozilla respond to security flaws WAY quicker than microsoft:idea:0

I said above I like it, but its still appallingly bad for web standards. I mean, why the hell put a Compatibility Button in for idiots that designed sites to work in IE6 and 7 only?0

So that the millions, upon millions of websites that were designed to work around IE6 and IE7's 'quirks' are still readable until those responsible update them by either adding the metatags to tell IE8 to render as IE7, or they update the design to be rendered natively by IE8 in line with the newly implemented standards compliance.
Come on, do you really think taking a hardline against those sites and rendering large proportions of websites unreadable would have been a good move for the internet as an entity, from Microsoft?0 -

Well it would convince people that IE is indeed a pile of crap when it comes to web standards and hopefully they would move onto something else0 -
