Internet Explorer 8

Its installing for me at the moment. Thought I would, afterall why not? Its all built into windows, and updates are always good.

I installed it when it came out, didn't get along with it at all. It forced all my new Explorer windows to open in a new window, and tabs just didn't work. Multiple people had the same problems.
 
Been using it for a while now, switched from Firefox. Not that Firefox is bad, I just prefer protected mode in IE8.

First thing I did was turn off all the annoying "accelerators" and "web slices". After that it's been fine.
 
Don't like the icky way it greys out most of the address in the address bar - thought it was something wrong with my screen at first.
 
Been using it since it came out, like the accelorators and the colour coded tabbing. couple of other little features which are cool.

The thing that still bugs me which I've said since the first release of IE7 Beta, is you cant drag a tab from one window to another :(

I don't understand the colour coded tabbing. I guess I should Google it to work out what the colours mean :p
 
Colour coded tabs is a nice idea but I don't really find it useful. I very often select keywords in web pages, right click > search which spawns a new tab with the same colour code as the original page. I do this all the time so after an hour or so browsing I end up with many different pages from many different sites all colour coded the same colour - which is up there with the inflatable dartboard for usefulness.
