Default Internet Explorer 8 Beta

So a few days ago I decided on downloading Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2...

Worst mistake I think I have ever made lol...

It seems very buggy and crashed on me all the time. Also in the address bar drop down menu...you can only see the last 10 sites you typed in I believe...10 at the most it might be less than that can't remember.

Anyone else tried the beta?

Also...Bad Boys 2 is on right now on USA!!! (The channel) lol...for all of the people that actually have some free time to turn the TV on

BETA? Yes I'm suffering with it everyday since the 21st on Ebay!


Bad Boys 2 ...Wouldn't you rather see the Movie unedited for TV and without commercials?

Oh yes the oh so wonderful IE beta 8. I still have that crap on my computer I've been surfing with it for more than 6 months now. I never get a chance to uninstall it. Thanks for reminding me I'll uninstall it today when I get home. I don't know if I can get used to mac since I've been using microsoft ever since I've known about computers.

I've never touched a MAC in my life! I think I would like it too much lol...

Anyways, I think IE8 Beta was the worst download of my life! I uninstalled it after 2 days of testing it out...

LOL that was funny!

But I'm on my computer now and will be uninstalling IE8. MAC looks cool and all but I don't think I can get used to it. I mean atleast not as a work computer. Now I just don't like some aspects of firefox.

EDIT
I just got done unistalling IE8 and got my good 'old IE7 back on!

IE7 is without a doubt my favorite browser.

But everyone needs a back-up browser on their computer just in case.

I personally recommend Opera as a back-up, I have never been a Firefox fan.

Wow...Opera actually looks nice and clean. Not cluttered at the top like IE can be. Thanks for the post TGMT! I may be using this in the future.

Firefox & MAC do OK for me. In Firefox I have a IE7 toggle-woggle button. I used carrier pigeon when I first started to use t'internet. Big improvement.

why do you guys use pre-release software and expect it NOT to be buggy?

if IE8 was a solid, stable product MS would just release it! none of this beta crap.

Why not try out the new stuff and see what its like? I figured it would be a bit buggy but not crash all the time. I don't like the new setup either.

I used Opera for about a year because my POS desktop didn't like firefox. It's solid, but a little slow.

But now with my new laptop, firefox is my best friend.

I do agree it's good to have backup browsers, I still use IE and Opera when I need them.

Emm, well some things firefox can't do, Opera and IE sometimes will be able to do.

Like firefox does a good job of savings websites that I need for web work.

Opera does a good job of holding copied text in it's tables for Excel.

IE I usually use for testing things. If it doesn't work in IE, which most of the world still uses, I need to fix it.

I build websites, so I have to cater to all web users and their browsers.

Well, it's better to use different user accounts for different eBay/PayPal accounts.

If you use one browser for one ebay account and another browser for another, things could get mixed and and before long you're linked.

What are you now GreenBean, a phoenix?
