Just thought i was start a small thread. I have just installed IE8, and so far so good. It is faster, better layout...early days, but i can recommend it so far!

Didn't know it was out until i stumbled across it by accident.

Still a good bit of software!!.. but I'm still a Firefox man!!

Internet explorer is faster I find - but Firefox has the addons. If IE supported addons I think I would use that!

Sorry...yes its still in beta:

But i think they are moving towards the add-on route. It has google add-ons right now, and to be seen if they allow custom add-ons...but its getting there.

I don't know about RC1 but the version on Windows 7 seems to cause some page content to jump around abit when you highlight or hover over it, only on certain sites though.

I've been trying the IE8 beta for a few months now and have had no problems so far.
