Well microsoft is trying to get me to install this on all my computers
Ive personally seen a LOT of problems with IE8 (NOT only with BETA I might add)
So I thought I'd post a poll so please state WHAT you had to change to get IE8 to work IF youve had problems (Or otherwise)

Sort of works - but still have some 'teething' problemsFor some reason since installing IE8, when I load the sims 2 game it changes my broadband that has to dial up to "never dial a connection" and I have to manually change it back to get on the internet. It never happened with IE7 and I have not done anything different with the game.0

Fine ~ worked 'as is' without having to change anythingOnly installed on #2 mini-Gun's lappy so far to try it out....so far it's worked okay with no obvious errors on anything (they play online RPG's). MAy well try it on Vista lappy next to give it a blast on there...........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -

Fine ~ worked 'as is' without having to change anythingInstalled and working fine. Much more stable than IE7, although I think the problems were being caused by the Adobe addins. These work fine in IE80

Microsoft don't make Internet Explorer for my OS any more, which is kind of a pity. Still, I'm not losing any sleep over it.0

Fine ~ worked 'as is' without having to change anythingIt worked fine for me, but as usual, it's far too slow. It's hardly any different than IE7 either looks wise - you'd think they could have tweaked it a bit to make it look new!Northern Ireland club member No 382 :j0
