Has anyone else just been upgraded to the all new singing and dancing ie-8 ??Ive just been testing it out and it seems as fast if not faster than firefoxand coupled with the fact that its S/L friendly bill gates just might have won me back over! lolhttp://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/internet-e ... fault.aspx

I might have a go when I'm feeling brave! It was in beta version when I last saw it, so I didn't want to risk it.

Yes i know what you mean tasa,when i got the email from them i was dubious to say the least.IE 7 let me down quite a few times and i(apart from posting pics on here)severed all links between us lol.But ive been using it all day and i have to say there's a noticeable difference in speed of pages loading and it hasnt crashed once so fingers crossed eh

Seems OK at this end too.

Be careful - there are many things different about it, unless you are wary, the beta versions revealed problems for users which could still be encountered. This might tell you a littlehttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/19/ie_8_released/

It was sort of off last weekend Arry, but that wasn't really the Site's fault this time. Haven't noticed anything today - what's it doin'?
