    Im in the same boat steve. I might give it a go but according to the IE8 poll I posted ~
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1662151

    Im thinking I might hang fire for a while

    As the others have said though theres plenty of other browsers. I use FIREFOX mostly and sometimes CHROME

    I use Firefox 99% of the time but have I.E. 8 for the times when needed. (i.e. MS update)

    I find with Firefox I get hardly any cookies BUT loads with IE 8

    yes, firefox or chrome, even safari, just use ie7 to get microsoft stuff and on pages that only run right with ie7

    I'm thinking about using IE8 for everything. Mmm...

    Currently I have the Empty temp internet files on close selected under advanced > security. And cut the temp files down to 250MB max. Took the favourites bar off too so that I have more room to look at webpages.

    I can't even consider using ie8 for everything :)
    I run imacros + greasemonkey..amongst others...and I'd be lost without them :)


    ...though I hear chrome is very fast!

    Safari 4 is excellent.

    So is Firefox.

    And Chrome for that matter.

    And Opera.

    Internet Explorer however, is not.

    I am running IE 8 with no problems at all, and it certainly seems fast enough. I have tried the other browsers but I believe Internet Explorer is still the only browser to support the Google Toolbar, and I'd really be lost without my Google bookmarks as I share them across PCs.
