Boris Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 This is still a Beta product. Only install it if you understand that it is not finished software and may have bugs in it.IE 8 Beta 2 was criticized for its large memory footprint and execution threads compared to IE7.Read about it here :-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_borden Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 HiI have IE7, and noticed on another website something about IE8, can someone please explain the dirrefence between 7 & 8, and is it worth my installing IE8?I don't know if it is worth installing yet or not to be honest. I was just reading wikipedia on it and it does seem to have a few neat tricks!Maybe I should be faster with the links!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think the thing you need to remember is that it is still in Beta so is not yet finished, also think about how bad the so called finished programs are that come from Microsoft and work out if you want even more agro than normal.

Not A Clue Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 also think about how bad the so called finished programs are that come from Microsoft and work out if you want even more agro than normal.OK thanks everyone, as you an see from my screen name I'm useless with computers, I've had IE 7 all the time and had no problems with it, I think I'll wait until 8 is more stable, I'd have no idea what to do if I got a bug.

y2khardtop Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I tried it, crashed repeatedly upon starting for me. I've tried Firefox, Chrome.....IE7 is still my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Having created a full back up in Acronis first, I tried it some time ago and soon got rid of it. Only try it if you have a full back up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedadmin Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Watch how you install it. Something about if you install it and have XP SP3, you are stuck with it.http://news.cnet.com/8301-13554_3-10029385-33.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
