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:idea:0 -
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 80 -
yes, firefox or chrome, even safari, just use ie7 to get microsoft stuff and on pages that only run right with ie7Blackpool_Saver is female, and does not live in Blackpool0

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.0 -
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!Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0 -
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.0
