Re:Internet Explorer 8 & Windows 7

Hi,
Is Internet Explorer 8 running on Vista stable or buggy

How is Windows 7 as an Operating System? stable or buggy?

Thanks,


James

    i have two laptops - work one with XP and my home one with Vista and after IE8 updated automatically, it caused no end of problems for me, so much so that I had to roll it back to IE7 on both machines. Been working fine since then. I personally won;t touch IE8 myself until they sort it but thats just me. :D

    IE8 works fine on Vista for me, I mainly use Firefox though so maybe I've just been lucky so far. But to check my Hotmail (and play on MSN games!) and go to websites mentioned in email I use IE8, and it's never crashed or caused problems.

    I have got IE8 with Windows 7 RC and both seem stable enough.
    I don't actually use IE8 much as I prefer Firefox but impressed with Window 7 and have pre-ordered the official release.
