Windows Internet Explorer 8 RC1

I'm sure everyone that knows about firefox is saying the same thing. I used the new IE and it sucked just as bad as the last 8 versions.

Whats the point? Do yourself a favor and use firefox.

Irrational hatred much? This thread is about IE8, so you might want to find yourself a Firefox thread.

On topic: tried the latest IE8 build and it's just as snappy and quick as the previous build. That's always a good thing. Hope it stays that way in the final build. Haven't gotten around to try the LogMeIn Rescue web app again though.

I'm not sure what all the hating is about. I'm running IE8 RC1 on an XP Pro SP3 machine with 0 problems. Granted, it's not my main rig, but I'm replying to forums right now on it without any probs. Personally, I'm still a FF user, but it ain't bad. Now I just need to check out CSS compat.

BTW, so far Opera still dominates in Acid3 CSS Test compatibility.

Actually IE8 is pretty decent. The built in accelerators are a nice touch. I still see some rendering problems here and there that compatibility mode isn't fixing so that's a little annoying, but this release is very stable at least, not crashing as much.

Personally I use IE and FF simultaneously, depending on what I'm doing one may work better than the other.
