Internet Explorer 8

(1/4) > >>

You must know what it is like, to let a bit of software instal, only to find that after an hour of use, you wish you had pressed cancel instead.

IE8 is now being offered as a standard upgrade (I use XP pro).

I installed it, but it was so full of bugs, it was almost unuseable. A good example, I could not have done this post with it installed. As I was typing the text, it would jump up to another part of my compilation, when I reset it to where I typed the last bit, as soon as I touched the keyboard it would jump out of view again.

This was just one problem of many that I found.

It is easy to fix, just uninstal IE8 and you will be back to where you were.

I think I will leave it a while until all the bugs are sorted.

This isn't a dive in post for saying I use such and such because it is better, but a general warning to people who use Internet Explorer.

They do like, sending them out before making them work correctly  :doh: and taking their time to fix them. All software companies seem to suffer from that affliction some time or other.

 I dont even use "exploerer" To many security issues. I use Mozilla Firefox. Its a lot more secure without all the bugs. I have used it for years with no problems.
  Just google it, it should take you to the mozilla site.

Oh Its FREE.

Seen and heard it all before, and I don't want to be blamed for starting a browser war.

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I was just giving a warning to people who favour using internet explorer.
